Is there any way to run service continuously?

by

If you go through THE LINK, you will find:

Unfortunately, some devices implement killing the app from the recents menu as a force stop. Stock Android does not do this. When an app is force stopped, it cannot execute jobs, receive alarms or broadcasts, etc. So unfortunately, it’s infeasible for us to address it – the problem lies in the OS and there is no workaround.

It is a known issue. To save battery, many manufacturers force close the app, thus cancelling all the period tasks, alarms, and broadcast receivers etc. Major manufacturers being OnePlus (you have option to toogle), Redmi, Vivo, Oppo, Huwaei.

Each of these devices have AutoStartManagers/AutoLaunch/StartManager type of optimization managers. Which prevent the background activities to start again. You will have to manually ask the user to whitelist your application, so that app can auto start its background processess. Follow THIS and THIS link, for more info.

The methods to add to whitelist for different manufactures are give in this Stack Overflow answer. Even after adding to whitelist, your app might not work because of DOZE Mode, for that you will have to ignore battery otimizations

Also in case you might be wondering, apps like Gmail/Hangout/WhatsApp/Slack/LinkedIn etc. are already whitelisted by these AutoStart Managers. Hence, there is no effect on their background processes. You always receive timely updates & notifications.
