Intent intent = new Intent(context, PayPalService.class); intent.putExtra(PayPalService.EXTRA_PAYPAL_CONFIGURATION, config); getApplication().startService(intent);

public static final String EXTRA_PAYPAL_CONFIGURATION = "com.paypal.android.sdk.paypalConfiguration";

Answer 1

You need to start foreground service instead of service

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
    context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, YourService.class));
 } else {
    context.startService(new Intent(context, YourService.class));
 }
