Runtime exception Android O with boot_completed

Question

I\'m trying to start an IntentService within my BOOT_COMPLETED receiver, but in Android O (API 26) I get:

java.lang.RuntimeException: 
java.lang.IllegalState         


        

Answer 1

You may want to check the following section of the Android O behaviour changes documentation https://developer.android.com/preview/features/background.html#services

It now limits when the app is able to start background services.
