Android 6.0 : Foreground service is being removed when app is being killed

Question

I created Notification in onStartCommand of my Service class to run a foreground service.

In previous versions of Android (version < 6.0) the service keeps running and the Notification can not be removed even if I kill the app from the recent apps menu. I'm also using BOOT_COMPLETED intent filter for my BroadCastReceiver so that my service starts as my device restarts. Everything is working fine in Lollipop and previous versions. But when I tested in my Marshmallow device, when I clear my ram from recent app, the foreground service is also killed and the Irremovable Notification also being removed. As a result my app stops working. Service does not start when the device restarts either.

Is it causing by the famous DOZE MODE implemented in Android 6.0 and Higher ? Or there is something else ? Please help me someone ? I asked for help earlier but couldn't resolve the problem.

Answer 1

you have to add process attribute in manifest

<service
 android:name=".YourServiceName"
 android:process=".process"
 android:enabled="true"
 android:exported="true"></service>
