A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hello everyone. I am currently working with A repeating alarm manager service to trigger location retrieval in background every 15 minutes. It seems to work alright on most usecases, except pn Xiami devices(ex: Redmi). Has anyone faced similar issues or has some hints? 

Maybe those devices have an aggressive background tasks policy and is killing your service…

That s what I read about... but couldnt find a failsafe „workaround“ for it

if you are using a job scheduler there is a flag for not running them on low battery. Also, have you checked if Xiami offers an SDK? if they do maybe there is something that can be checked there

You can show popup to to disable battery optimization for user who is using Xiaomi phones

Will try that out. Thanks. I had seen that some used manufacturer specific intent checks and was not sure if that is the right thing

Nothing can be done. Read this and weep (as we all do!) <https://dontkillmyapp.com/>
