I have a music app that streams audio online. The only problem is it gets killed every time I exit the app which is not good for the user. They need it to keep running in the background even after exiting. How can I achieve this?

The first is to use MethodChannels and simply write the android code you want to create a background service (or if you want it to always be a background service you can probably do that without needing communication from the flutter side).
In Flutter, when it comes to implementing background services, we come across certain plugins and packages that ensures us of having our app running in the background, for example Work manager, and other packages that invokes services from native side to execute dart code in background.
Flutter WorkManager is a wrapper around Android's WorkManager, iOS' performFetchWithCompletionHandler and iOS BGAppRefreshTask, effectively enabling headless execution of Dart code in the background. This is especially useful to run periodic tasks, such as fetching remote data on a regular basis.
Open the AndroidManifest. xml file and specify it between the <manifest> and <application> tags. And we need to add this permission to automatically resume foreground service at boot time. And specify the service inside the <application> tag as follows.
Can I run Dart code in the background of an Flutter app?
Yes, you can run Dart code in a background process on both iOS and Android. For more information, see the Medium article Executing Dart in the Background with Flutter Plugins and Geofencing.
