I have an app widget that uses a Service to handle updates (as per the SDK sample). If a task killer kills the service, the widget obviously stops updating. Is there any way I can notify the widget that the service has been killed so it can attempt to restart it?

How do I restart my service automatically when my service gets killed or crashes, until and unless I myself de register the service.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSome Android application restarts automatically when i kill process manually. How this can be possible?
Is there anyone who know how to do like this on Android platform?
I have an application and I would like to be able to restart it on the event of an error or a crash/app shutdown. I am familiar with how to register BroadcastReceivers, use alarms, etc.
Is there any signal I could intercept that the app sends out when it shuts down? Or that the OS sends out when any app shuts down?
I have a service in my app the creates an alarm and runs a check ever X minutes. I am new to android and I was wondering is there a way to prevent another app such as ATK (advanced task killer) from kill my service/alarms? It seems that if I normally close the app my alarms still work but when I go to ATK and stop the app the service dies as well. Maybe thats the point, but this service is rather important and most users would want it to run even if the app itself is no longer running. I assume that if the system kills it for whatever reason then their is nothing you can do about it. Could someone please inform me on this issue and a possible solution to do what I need?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a service running in the background. It starts on device boot. Also, I have one activity (that appears in the task launcher) in which I have provided buttons to start and stop the service.
Now, I install the application on the phone and I start the service using this activity (and not on-device boot). As expected the service starts and starts doing its designated task. I no-longer need the activity. So it goes out of sight and may not be required for a long time now.
My question is, now, if the android platform kills this activity, will it kill my service too ? (This is because I see that after few hours, my service is not running anymore.). If this is true, then will the service continue running longer if the service was started on device boot.
I have a service that needs to hold a persistent TCP connection, think IM. I'm reluctant to use setForeground() - the service being down temporarily isn't that big a deal, and I am assume I can trust that I'll be run again once memory is available, correct? The problem here is this. The service was started via startService() before being killed. However, when it is restarted, only onCreate() is executed. This makes it hard to continue, because starting work onCreate() means I can't even bind to the service (to say query it's status) without it doing so. Is this a bug or per design? What is the status of the service after it is being restarted? Is it consider "started" by the system, i.e. waiting for a call to stopService()?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is very important that my service stay running until someone with a password stops the service from my UI screen. My app runs great but it is designed to be turned on/off by parents (with a password) on their kids phones. I have managed to make everything work but the problem I'm having is that if the kid uses a task manager to kill my service then my app is useless. I would be grateful to anyone who knows a way to either
1) monitor the service and start it back up automatically if its "killed"
or
2) prevent someone from being able to kill it except from the activity (administration screen) that launched the service. Or both?
I have a service that polls for data. To indicate this to the user I have a persistent notification in the statusbar. In some cases when the device goes low on memory it destroys the service but OnDestroy is not called. Later when there is available memory OnCreate is called. Is this normal behavior? I had hoped that OnDestroy would be called to I could remove the notification in the statusbar. Now the user thinks that the service is still running, while it has been stopped by the OS.
In order to restart the polling how do I know that the OnCreate is really a restart event and not first time creation of the service? I thought about checking for the presence of the notification in the statusbar, but I couldn't find a API to check if a notification was showing or not. I have not tried "SetForeground" on the service, since the service isn't that important to the user, but maybe that would minimize the problem.
I just want to know how detect that the activity or service has been killed by the advanced task killer? I was expecting the onDestroy method to be called, but it doesnt!
My app starts the background service on boot. The activity is not started except from menu. But its name appears in the advanced task killer list. When I try to kill it, it doesnt call the onDestroy method neither the service's.
Is there a way to notify an activity/service of a force-close request right before it gets killed?
I mean when the user hits the force close button in Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage applications>app name>Force Close.
Recently, the operation system of my android phone has got a slow speed. what's more, it sometimes restart automatically.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Android service that's responsible for firing notifications at certain points in time. I use an android.OS.CountdownTimer for this. An activity creates and starts the service. If the phone is locked, notifications that are within let's say 1min are shown. Notifications that are much later are never shown. The service is unbound from the activity when the activity is onpause.
As long as the phone doesn't lock the notifications are generated, even if the activity is stopped and unbound from the service.
It seems to me that the service is stopped/killed. When I make the application debuggable and debug it on target, it works fine, also when the activity is stopped and the service is unbound.
The app is developed for v1.5 and runs at Galaxy S with 2.2.
Service is started as shown below

View 10 Replies View RelatedRecently, I installed FRG01B. I had no problems with it except for the fact that I couldn't get the phone to mute.
I noticed that there was a really cool version of FRG22 out by Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.3 (FRG22).
I downloaded RSD Lite, SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf, and I downloaded the 64 bit drivers for the Droid. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit. I got the files from this page: FRG01B.SBF for Droid courtesy of RootzWiki - Droid Releases - AllDroid Public Board - FRG01B.SBF for Droid courtesy of RootzWiki - Droid Releases - AllDroid Public Board - AllDroid.org > Home
Anyway, I installed RSD Lite and the drivers. I opened RSD Lite and opened the SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf file. I clicked show device, but nothing was showing up in the window, but below it said connected. I clicked START. After my phone rebooted, it's shot. No service, no battery life, and it keeps rebooting itself. What can I do! Someone please help! My Gmail address is chim777@gmail.com and I will be available for chat as well. I will keep checking this thread every few minutes. Someone please help as I have no clue what the hell I did. All I wanted to do was root my phone.
Is there any way not to force to restart the service once the service crash and is killed?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a Service and a PreferenceActivity that allows the user to edit some preferences. I would like to restart the Service once the user is done with the PreferenceActivity.
I understand that I can register onChange listeners for individual preference changes, but I do not want to restart the Service as each preference changes. I would like to do this when the user is done editing all the preferences. Short of having a "Apply Now" button in the PreferenceActivity, I do not see a straightforward way of doing this.
Due to overwhelming user complaints I have decided try allowing users of my Android application to move it to the SD card as per the official documentation. However, a core feature of my application requires a background service to be continuously running. When someone who has moved my app to their SD card mounts their SD card for whatever reason, my background service will be killed.
That's all okay by me, as long as I can restart the service at the first available opportunity. Unfortunately, despite the install-location guide claiming I can use the Broadcast Intent ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE to detect when the SD card is remounted locally, the documentation for that flag itself, this newsgroup discussion, and my own testing show that this broadcast is not delivered to the applications which become available. Only applications which have not been moved to the SD card get the Broadcast Intent. Is there any way to restart my background service without waiting for the user to open my app after the SD card is remounted?
I have a single Activity application, within it I have a service which creates an AlarmManager and sends a broadcast to a broadcast Receiver.If the activity which starts the services dies, (ie. divide by zero), the broadcast receiver stops the old service which created the AlarmManager.It works the first time. The second time, it does not.It seems like the AlarmManager is still active but the broadcast receiver is no longer receiving. It works great once!

From the logs, it seems that the "process" that the service belongs to is restarted, but the service itself is not. I have placed a Log.d() call in the onStart() method, and this is not reached.

My message apps (native Message and Handcent app) keep on reappearing, even when I kill them.
I've used the Settings > Applications > Running services, also Advanced Task Killer (by ReChild) and Task Manager (by Futon Redemption), but after a few minutes they'll reappear again.
This has only happened after I updated my Hero from 1.5 to 2.1. (I'm on Orange).
This seems to be a reoccurring theme of apps not being killed off after updating to 2.1. Others have reported Amazon MP3 and Skype apps not being killed off and even not uninstalling.
My battery life seems to be draining away now since the 2.1 update, and I'm thinking this may be the message-app-not-sleeping problem, hence my attempts at killing off the native message app.
Does anyone have any ideas to kill these apps off?
I am trying to write an app that cannot be killed by a user or another application. I understand this goes against what Android has designed for its platform, this is more of a proof of concept. The plan is two have two apps, app1 and app2. When app1 starts it will start app2 and then bind onto app2, when app2 starts it will make sure app1 is started if not, then start it and bind onto app1. The point of app1 binding on app2 and app2 binding on app1 is so when one of them gets killed a method will be called that the binding has been disconnected and the app can then be restarted. I currently have the apps starting each other when they start up but I cannot seem to get them to restart when I force close one of them.
For App1 service I have and app2 very similar:
CODE:..............
And for my class that implements ServiceConnection I have:
CODE:............
I think the issue I am having is that onServiceDisconnected never gets called when app1 or app2 is killed. I think this may be because I am not correctly binding to a service.

How can I bind services together so when one gets force closed that I will get a notice on the other?
