If do you have already permissions then:
In your service class or another service/activity you can switch the "component hability" to listen notifications:
public void tryReconnectService() {
toggleNotificationListenerService();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
ComponentName componentName =
new ComponentName(getApplicationContext(), NotificationReaderV2Service.class);
//It say to Notification Manager RE-BIND your service to listen notifications again inmediatelly!
requestRebind(componentName);
}
}
/**
* Try deactivate/activate your component service
*/
private void toggleNotificationListenerService() {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(this, NotificationReaderV2Service.class),
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(this, NotificationReaderV2Service.class),
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
}
Your notification listener, is a SERVICE, it can be killed by System, you can do your service as FOREGROUND to drastically decrease the probability that the system will kill your service.
@Override
public void onListenerConnected() {
super.onListenerConnected();
Log.d(TAG, "Service Reader Connected");
Notification not = createNotification();
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (mNotificationManager != null) {
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, not);
}
startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, not);
//Alarm to auto - send Intents to Service to reconnect, you can ommit next line.
alarmIt();
}
If do you like so more "safe", you can to programming not-friendly battery alarms, try to use inexact alarms please, the user's battery will be happy:
private void alarmIt() {
Log.d(TAG, "ALARM PROGRAMMATED at"+HotUtils.formatDate(new Date()));
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
now.set(Calendar.MINUTE, now.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + 1);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReaderV2Service.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND);
intent.setAction(REBIND_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
intent, 0);
AlarmManager manager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
//The alarms that are repeated are inaccurate by default, use RTC_WAKE_UP at your convenience.
//Alarm will fire every minute, CHANGE THIS iF DO YOU CAN, you can't use less than 1 minute to repeating alarms.
manager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, now.getTimeInMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 1, pendingIntent);
}
and next read the Intent to reconnect service binding:
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.d(TAG, "Notification service onStartCommandCalled");
if (intent!=null && !HotUtils.isNullOrEmpty(intent.getAction()) && intent.getAction().equals(REBIND_ACTION)){
Log.d(TAG, "TRYING REBIND SERVICE at "+HotUtils.formatDate(new Date()));
tryReconnectService();//switch on/off component and rebind
}
//START_STICKY to order the system to restart your service as soon as possible when it was killed.
return START_STICKY;
}
Keep in mind that doing all these steps you can sure that your service will be killed anyway by the system but this code will restart the service and make it harder to kill it.
Maybe, you should consider using PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK with your service and execute it in a process independently (:remote) if you want even more certainty (Maybe this is useless)
I would like to add a common error that is often followed, NEVER override the onBind and onUnbind method or overwrite the INTENT ACTION.
This will cause your service to not be connected and never run onListenerConnected
Keep the Intent as it is, in most cases you do not need to edit it.
