Yes, I found a working solution for running Bluetooth background in Android.
Below is the code I have used in my android app.
public class BluetoothServices extends Service {
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
public static final String B_DEVICE = "MY DEVICE";
public static final String B_UUID = "00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb";
// 00000000-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
public static final int STATE_NONE = 0;
public static final int STATE_LISTEN = 1;
public static final int STATE_CONNECTING = 2;
public static final int STATE_CONNECTED = 3;
private ConnectBtThread mConnectThread;
private static ConnectedBtThread mConnectedThread;
private static Handler mHandler = null;
public static int mState = STATE_NONE;
public static String deviceName;
public static BluetoothDevice sDevice = null;
public Vector<Byte> packData = new Vector<>(2048);
//IBinder mIBinder = new LocalBinder();
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
//mHandler = getApplication().getHandler();
return mBinder;
}
public void toast(String mess){
Toast.makeText(this,mess,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
BluetoothServices getService() {
// Return this instance of LocalService so clients can call public methods
return BluetoothServices.this;
}
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
String deviceg = intent.getStringExtra("bluetooth_device");
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
connectToDevice(deviceg);
return START_STICKY;
}
private synchronized void connectToDevice(String macAddress){
BluetoothDevice device = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(macAddress);
if (mState == STATE_CONNECTING){
if (mConnectThread != null){
mConnectThread.cancel();
mConnectThread = null;
}
}
if (mConnectedThread != null){
mConnectedThread.cancel();
mConnectedThread = null;
}
mConnectThread = new ConnectBtThread(device);
toast("connecting");
mConnectThread.start();
setState(STATE_CONNECTING);
}

mState = state;

// mHandler.obtainMessage();
}
}

toast("sent data");
}else {
Toast.makeText(BluetoothServices.this,"Failed to send data",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
@Override

mConnectThread = null;
}

mConnectedThread.cancel();
mConnectedThread = null;

return super.stopService(name);
}
