What is the best approach to keep Android app running 24/7?

Question

I have developed a react-native app for Android to receive real time food orders (like Uber Eats, Postmates, etc.). The app is running in a Lenovo tablet that is constantly charging. I use a GraphQL subscription to detect new orders and Firebase Cloud Notifications to check the network status of the tablet.

The problem is that right now the system eventually kills the app after some days with no interaction. I would like to know the best approach to prevent the systems kills the app and being able to run it 24/7 in this case scenario.

Thanks!

You should write a service for your app, which starts the app when it gets killed. Never ending service has a good tutorial on how to do this.
