Is there a way to know when an application has been closed (swiped away in android recents screen)?
I have a foreground service which should survive process death but would stop when the application has deliberately been closed by a user.

Sounds like you're looking for <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Service#ontaskremoved|https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Service#ontaskremoved>

+1 to onTaskRemoved.
FYI, it doesn't work on Xiaomi devices with MIUI skin.

That's because they force stop your whole app when you swipe away the task, killing everything as per <https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi|https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi>

<@UJBPFB3SN> thanks, I know it. I have struggled with similar things in android for 7 years.
