Not allowed to start service Intent - it's about background service limitations: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background

, But I use :foreground in buildozer.spec:

services = Notifier:notifier.py:foreground

Problem happens after app closing

There is related issue https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/1785

Fix The fix repeats part of closed pull request https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/1786/files#diff-91249b27761ee10b96c07b64959a33951619a2547223ebeaaf82ece873e1e594R104

Interestingly, other bootstraps have this code already: https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/develop/pythonforandroid/bootstraps/service_library/build/templates/Service.tmpl.java#L41

Is there a reason why the common template has been kept different?

My suspicion is this is only an issue if you specify autorestart on the service: PythonService.mService.setAutoRestartService(True).

I found that another (more robust) way to achieve autorestart functionality is to simply add :sticky to the service build parameter list. As a bonus, sticky will avoid the service being restarted on app-exit.
