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)*/         }

Try this...it's working for me. It will open the screen to enable autostart. But if you try to disable from there it will close the app. I am figuring out a solution for that. Till then you can use this as solution.

String manufacturer = "xiaomi";         if(manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {             //this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app             Intent intent = new Intent();             intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));             startActivity(intent);         }
