I need to make my service unstoppable. I tried to return START_STICKY on start command, it works well on emulator but, when remove the app from task manager on my device (Xiaomi mi5s, Android 7), it doesn't create itself again.
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return START_STICKY;
}
Edit: I gave Auto Start permission and disabled battery protection rules for the app.
Edit: Also I tried to use foreground service. However, it is being killed too..
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), StartActivity.class);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
PendingIntent contentPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name))
.setTicker(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText("Hello!")
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher2)
.setContentIntent(contentPendingIntent)
.setOngoing(true)
.build();
notification.flags = notification.flags | Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground(1, notification);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
---Activity
ContextCompat.startForegroundService(this, new Intent(this, LockerService.class));

How can i do that?
There are some customizations on Chinese roms regarding app lifecycle.
Xiaomi kills foreground services indiscriminately (xiaomi redmi note4 (Android N), note 7 (Android P)). So it's really difficult to have the same behavihour on all phones.
You can try to relaunch your foreground service using an alarm with a broadcast receiver. When you app is being killed you need to set this alarm. When the intent is received try to start the foreground service with startForeground(). Remember also to bind the foreground service and disable battery limitation (and others things related) according to your device.
I don't know if this works because we have no necessity to implement such a method. But you could give it a try.
Remember that for Android >= Oreo the only way for a service to survive and works seems to be the foreground service way.(Bound service with battery optimization off for some devices)
You can find useful material at:
Never Ending background service
LocationUpdatesForegroundService
The second example works on emulator on different version of android(5/7). It works on Galaxy S3 with Resurrection Remix rom (Android 7) and works on some Huawei models (Oreo, Pie).
Work with services in android is really difficult. Have patience and go on.
