What version of Traccar Client are you using?

tananaev avatar Apr 16 '17 23:04 tananaev

Traccar Client 4.1 (hidden mode).

Just tested it on 7.1.1 and indeed the notification is there. I don't think it's possible to do anything about it. Sticky notification is required for foreground services. If we don't make service foreground, system would kill it after some time.

What you can do is block notifications from Traccar Client app. Slide the notification and block it.

As you said foreground services MUST have a notification. https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html#Foreground

A solution may be to start the service in background and schedule a runner to check if it's running and re-run when needed (only for hidden mode albeit).

How do you "schedule a runner"?

With AlarmManager. https://developer.android.com/training/best-background.html https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/alarms.html

Is it OK if I implement it and request a "pull request"?

It's already implemented. The problem that it won't stop doze mode on recent versions of Android.
