Notification Listener Service does not work after app is crashed

Question

I have a problem on my app and I want to report this bug.

I develope the app which can crawls notifications using NotificationListenerService.

It works well.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Here are few things that I did and now it works wonderfully for me.

1. Override onStartCommand, call super and return START_STICKY;
2. Override onNotificationRemoved, call super and add a toast so that you know in android itself that you service has not died yet whenever you swipe a notification.
3. Exclude your app from Battery saving list (Settings-> Battery-> Power Saving Exclusion)

Post this the service never dies even after the main app's crash. I dont need to reboot now to restart it.
