Foreground service killed in Doze mode for some devices like oppo,vivo,MI, etc

Question

I am using a foreground service to track the live location of the user. it is working fine in stock android devices, but in brands like oppo, vivo, Mi etc, the app is killed when the device comes into doze mode. I also tried to use FCM notifications still of no use. I am just wondering has Uber or Ola been able to crack this, bcuz i have seen most of the drivers have been using these brands. How are the able to keep their app alive in doze mode?

Answer 1

you need enable auto start permission for apps in oppo , vivo and mi

try below code worked for me

 private void keepServicesInChineseDevices() {
        Intent intent = new Intent();

        String manufacturer = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;

        switch (manufacturer) {

            case "xiaomi":
                intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter",
                        "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
                break;
            case "oppo":
                intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter",
                        "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"));

                break;
            case "vivo":
                intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager",
                        "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"));
                break;
        }

        List<ResolveInfo> arrayList = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,
                PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);

        if (arrayList.size() > 0) {
            AppDataHolder.getSession(MyApplication.getAppContext()).setPermissionForChineseDevices(true);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
