In Google Analytics Android app, Is there something called non session events?

Question

Say, there is a background service in app, which fires event on analytics. Now i don't want that event to create a session on Google analytics.

Is there any way?

Answer 1

This can be achieved by using .setNonIntraction(true) in your analytics tracking.

Tracker t = getGoogleTracker();
t.send(new HitBuilders.EventBuilder().setCategory(category)
.setAction(event)
.setLabel(label).setNonInteraction(true)
.setValue(l)
.build());

This works for me like a charm !!!
