Flutter background fetch

If you are receiving “Foreground Service Channel” notifications on your Android mobile device, this is because you have the Background Syncing feature turned on . Background Syncing is automatically enabled when syncing a new Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) diabetes device with Glooko.

An app is considered to be in the foreground if any of the following is true: It has a visible activity , whether the activity is started or paused. It has a foreground service. Another foreground app is connected to the app, either by binding to one of its services or by making use of one of its content providers.

A foreground service performs some operation that is noticeable to the user . For example, an audio app would use a foreground service to play an audio track. Foreground services must display a Notification. Foreground services continue running even when the user isn’t interacting with the app.

A Background Service is a service that runs only when the app is running so it’ll get terminated when the app is terminated. A Foreground Service is a service that stays alive even when the app is terminated.

Open the AndroidManifest. xml file and specify it between the <manifest> and <application> tags . And we need to add this permission to automatically resume foreground service at boot time. And specify the service inside the <application> tag as follows.
