How does doze mode affect background/foreground services, with/without partial/full wakelocks?

by

Processes which have a current running foreground service are supposed to be unaffected by Doze. Bound/unbound, started/not-started, and wakelocks do not affect this whitelisting process.

However, there is an issue on Android M devices where foreground services are not properly whitelisted when the foreground service is the in the same process as the top activity and improperly dozed.

The fix is available on AOSP and will be included in builds of Android N. It would be up to OEMs to integrate that patch into any Android M builds they produce.
