I've been developing chat app with Xamarin.Android, using hybrid service (Started + Binded) with STICKY. App basically using Signalr hubconnection inside service. Problem is some device vendors killing app service as app goes background. Giving one of following reason for service kill
-- app was idle
-- MIUILog AppServiceRestart rejected
I've also tried disabling battery optimizations and toggled AutoStart. Nothing works ! I know popular messenger apps are by default allowed by device vendors to run without issue.
Is there any way I can keep my service from getting killed or at least restart it as soon as it gets killed without having user to change system settings ?
Thanks !

2020-12-06T04:47:21.053+00:00 Yes, I did. But the problem with that is no user want a notification hanging in drawer all the time. Which may lead to uninstallation of an app. Apart from foreground service is there any way to achieve this. I've read one article which did analysis of Tencent TIM's process immortality technology. But it's to complicated to understand and implement :)
