I am the developer of a messaging application. My application get put on an automatic power save mode which prevents messages from getting through.
When I go to the App Power Saving option on a Samsung phone (Settings->Battery->App Power Saving option), I can see that this option is "Disabled" for certain apps (like WhatsApp and Facebook messenger).
When I do a clean install of the WhatsApp application, the power saving mode gets disabled by default before I even open the app.
This seems to be specific to Samsung devices Android version 6.0.1 and higher.
Is it possible to disable power saving by default for my application?

First, navigate to Settings, and then tap Battery and device care. Tap Battery, and then tap Power saving. Tap the switch to turn it on. This will limit certain things on your device, such as background network usage and syncing.

But your use case needs to be acceptable for Google Play validation: https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby.html#whitelisting-cases
