Check if battery optimization is enabled or not for an app

Question

Android 6 and 7 have some power optimizations (doze mode) which restrict app networking when device is not used.

User may disable optimization mode for any app in Battery settings:

Is it possible to check if optimization is enabled for my app or not? I need to ask user to disable optimization for better app functionality, but I don't know how to check it programatically.

Answer 1

Add this permission in your manifest.

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/> 

Request White-list / optimization enabled your app

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {         Intent intent = new Intent();         String packageName = getPackageName();         PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);         if (!pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(packageName)) {             intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);             intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));             startActivity(intent);         }     } 

Answer 2

This one was a bit tricky to track down: here's what you are looking for

PowerManager.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations()
