[android-developers] Re: Jelly bean swiping task away from task list kills service

As this issue is still present, I've tracked it down further into the broadcast receiver code.  When the broadcast is being delivered it removes the service from foreground state and then kills it.

Info added here, since the workaround is not good.

I've got a service running (an accessibility service called MainRunningService) and also use an alarmmanager within my app.

 

On ICS when a user pulled up the task list and swiped the app away the service kept running, but the user interface was cleared from the stack.

 

On jelly bean I'm finding this to be a little different. It seems like it kills off the service and then restarts it even if I've got an icon in the notification bar and I've got the app set to run in the foreground. This is killing off all my current app state and causing it to stop working.

 

I'm seeing this in the logs

 

07-19 21:47:42.213: I/ActivityManager(307): Killing 834:com.example.android.appname/u0a72: remove task

07-19 21:47:42.244: W/ActivityManager(307): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.rageconsulting.android.appname/.service.MainRunningService in 5000ms

 

For the persistent Icon I'm doing the following:

Notification foregroundNotification;
foregroundNotification = new Notification(R.drawable.iconx,"Example starting notification",System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent i=new Intent(this, MainUIActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
foregroundNotification.flags|=Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground(9642, foregroundNotification);

 

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've never had a problem in the past with this code, but it's not very good on jelly bean.
