android - How to enable auto start for my app in Xiaomi programmatically

Question

I have a service in my app which needs to be running in the background all the time. On all devices, it's working fine except Xiaomi. I have read somewhere that we need to enable auto-start in settings for an app to keep a service running.

So please tell me how to enable auto-start programmatically, because the user will never do that.

You cannot enable auto start directly, but you can redirect user to auto start setting screen and ask user to turn it on for your app. Use the below solution for xiaomi, oppo, vivo, letv, honor, asus, nokia, huawei phones. Autostart screen will be launched if it exists.

    try {
            val intent = Intent()
            val manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER
            when {
                "xiaomi".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.miui.securitycenter",
                        "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"
                    )
                }
                "oppo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.coloros.safecenter",
                        "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"
                    )
                }
                "vivo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.vivo.permissionmanager",
                        "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"
                    )
                }
                "letv".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.letv.android.letvsafe",
                        "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity"
                    )
                }
                "honor".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.huawei.systemmanager",
                        "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity"
                    )
                }
                "asus".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.asus.mobilemanager",
                        "com.asus.mobilemanager.powersaver.PowerSaverSettings"
                    )
                }
                "nokia".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.evenwell.powersaving.g3",
                        "com.evenwell.powersaving.g3.exception.PowerSaverExceptionActivity"
                    )
                }
                "huawei".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> {
                    intent.component = ComponentName(
                        "com.huawei.systemmanager",
                        "com.huawei.systemmanager.startupmgr.ui.StartupNormalAppListActivity"
                    )
                }
            }
            startActivity(intent)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            /*Timber.e(e)*/
        }
