Can not start HeadlesTask

[SERCHAT]

Description

I have an app that is targeted SDK 32. I want to send a headless task from my native android code when the app is killed but I can not on android version greater the 10. If I can not call a headless task from my code with targeted SDK 32 please help me to solve with other ways.

Version

0.68.1

Steps to reproduce

• Check if the app is foreground or not
• If app is not in foreground send headless task

I follow the ways from official documentation. Note: I want to call headless task from MainApplication.java class not inside of any Receiver.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

package com.your_application_name;

import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import com.facebook.react.HeadlessJsTaskService; import com.facebook.react.bridge.Arguments; import com.facebook.react.jstasks.HeadlessJsTaskConfig; import javax.annotation.Nullable;

public class MyTaskService extends HeadlessJsTaskService {

@Override protected @Nullable HeadlessJsTaskConfig getTaskConfig(Intent intent) { Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { return new HeadlessJsTaskConfig( "SomeTaskName", Arguments.fromBundle(extras), 5000, // timeout for the task false // optional: defines whether or not the task is allowed in foreground. Default is false ); } return null; } }

Intent service = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyTaskService.class); Bundle bundle = new Bundle();

bundle.putString("foo", "bar"); service.putExtras(bundle);

getApplicationContext().startService(service);

Why you cannot?

but I can not on android version greater the 10

Why you cannot?

@cortinico I'm trying to call the headless task inside a worker. I'm checking first if SDK version is greater then Oreo then call context.startForegroundService else call context.startService. This is my code inside the worker class:

   try{
      Intent headlessService = new Intent(mContext, MyHeadlessTask.class);
      Data data = getInputData();
      Bundle serviceBundle = new Bundle();
      serviceBundle.putString("unique_identifier",data.getString("unique_identifier"));
      serviceBundle.putString("name",data.getString("name"));
      headlessService.putExtras(serviceBundle);

      Log.i("com.test.app","Started worker you could see the headless notification (API O+)");
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            mContext.startForegroundService(headlessService);
      }else{
            mContext.startService(headlessService);
      }
      HeadlessJsTaskService.acquireWakeLockNow(mContext);

      return Result.success();

    }catch (Exception exc){
      Log.i(com.test.app","An error occured when calling doWork Headless: "+ exc.getMessage());
      exc.printStackTrace();
      return Result.failure();
    }

on catch block I'm getting this error message:

An error occured when calling doWork Headless: startForegroundService() not allowed due to mAllowStartForeground false: service com.test.app/com.test.app.MyHeadlessTask

And this is my headlestTask class :

public class MyHeadlessTask extends HeadlessJsTaskService {
    public MyHeadlessTask() {
     }



 @Nullable
 @Override
 protected HeadlessJsTaskConfig getTaskConfig(Intent intent) {
     if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
         createChannel();
         String title = "";
         String text = "";
         int iconResource = -1;

         Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext(), "my_channel")
                 .setContentTitle(title)
                 .setContentText(text)
                 .setTimeoutAfter(1)
                 .setOngoing(true)
                 .build();
         startForeground(1, notification);
     }


     Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();

     if(extras != null){
         Log.i("com.test.app","Extras is not null");
         return new HeadlessJsTaskConfig(
                 "beaconRegionDidEnter",
                 Arguments.fromBundle(extras),
                 5000, // timeout for the task
                 true // optional: defines whether or not  the task is allowed in foreground. Default is false

         );


     }
     Log.i("com.test.app","Extras is null");
     return null;

 }

 @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
 private void createChannel() {
     String description = "My channel description";
     int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
     NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("my_channel", "My service", importance);
     channel.setDescription(description);
     NotificationManager notificationManager =
             (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

     notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);

 }

}

and it is registered on android manifest file like this

<service
           android:name=".services.MyHeadlessTask"
           android:enabled="true"
           android:exported="true" />

Device that used for testing is SAMSUNG SM-A515F - Device API level 31 This code is running very well on android 10 devices
