Android Foreground Service

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Patterns for long-running Android foreground services used for continuous data collection — sensor streaming, BLE sessions, audio recording, or GPS logging that must survive Activity lifecycle changes. Covers Android 14+ mandatory foregroundServiceType, START_STICKY null-intent safety, notification channel setup, intent-based IPC, source fallback logic, and clean shutdown. Use this when: building a recording or sensor collection service, keeping BLE alive across screen rotation, handling Android 14 foregroundServiceType enforcement, wiring a Service to a Compose ViewModel, or implementing source-priority fallback.
