Try our this

public class ForegroundService extends Service {
    private static final String LOG_TAG = "ForegroundService";

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        // Your logical code here

        return START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {

        //When remove app from background then start it again
        startService(new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class));

        super.onTaskRemoved(rootIntent);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "In onDestroy");
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // Used only in case of bound services.
        return null;
    }
}

On Start button click:

Intent startIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ForegroundService.class);
    startService(startIntent);
