I tipi di servizi in primo piano sono obbligatori

To help developers be more intentional with defining user-facing foreground services, Android 10 introduced the android:foregroundServiceType attribute within the <service> element.

If your app targets Android 14, it must specify appropriate foreground service types. As in previous versions of Android, multiple types can be combined. This list shows the foreground service types to choose from:

If a use case in your app isn't associated with any of these types, we strongly recommend that you migrate your logic to use WorkManager or user-initiated data transfer jobs.

The health, remoteMessaging, shortService, specialUse, and systemExempted types are new in Android 14.

The following code snippet provides an example of a foreground service type declaration in the manifest:

<manifest ...>
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK" />
    <application ...>
      <service
          android:name=".MyMediaPlaybackService"
          android:foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback"
          android:exported="false">
      </service>
    </application>
</manifest>

If an app that targets Android 14 doesn't define types for a given service in the manifest, then the system will raise MissingForegroundServiceTypeException upon calling startForeground() for that service.

Dichiara la nuova autorizzazione per utilizzare i tipi di servizi in primo piano

If apps that target Android 14 use a foreground service, they must declare a specific permission, based on the foreground service type, that Android 14 introduces. These permissions appear in the sections labeled "permission that you must declare in your manifest file" in the intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type section on this page.

All of the permissions are defined as normal permissions and are granted by default. Users cannot revoke these permissions.

Includi il tipo di servizio in primo piano in fase di esecuzione

La best practice per le applicazioni che avviano i servizi in primo piano consiste nell'utilizzare la versione ServiceCompat di startForeground() (disponibile in androidx-core 1.12 e versioni successive), in cui passi in un numero intero a bit dei tipi di servizi in primo piano. Puoi scegliere di passare uno o più valori di tipo.

In genere, devi dichiarare solo i tipi richiesti per un determinato caso d'uso. In questo modo è più facile soddisfare le aspettative del sistema per ogni tipo di servizio in primo piano. Nei casi in cui un servizio in primo piano viene avviato con più tipi, il servizio in primo piano deve ottemperare ai requisiti di applicazione della piattaforma di tutti i tipi.

ServiceCompat.startForeground(0, notification, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION)

Se il tipo di servizio in primo piano non è specificato nella chiamata, il valore predefinito è costituito dai valori definiti nel manifest. Se non hai specificato il tipo di servizio nel manifest, il sistema genera un errore MissingForegroundServiceTypeException.

Se il servizio in primo piano ha bisogno di nuove autorizzazioni dopo l'avvio, devi chiamare di nuovo startForeground() e aggiungere i nuovi tipi di servizi. Ad esempio, supponiamo che un'app per il fitness esegua un servizio di monitoraggio della corsa che ha sempre bisogno di informazioni location, ma potrebbe o meno richiedere le autorizzazioni media. Nel file manifest devi dichiarare sia location sia mediaPlayback. Se un utente avvia un'esecuzione e vuole semplicemente che la propria posizione venga monitorata, la tua app dovrebbe chiamare startForeground() e trasmettere solo il tipo di servizio location. Quindi, se l'utente vuole iniziare a riprodurre l'audio, chiama di nuovo startForeground() e passa location|mediaPlayback.

Controlli di runtime del sistema

The system checks for proper use of foreground service types and confirms that the app has requested the proper runtime permissions or uses the required APIs. For instance, the system expects apps that use the foreground service type FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION type to request either ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.

This implies that apps must follow a very specific order of operations when requesting permissions from the user and starting foreground services. Permissions must be requested and granted before the app attempts to call startForeground(). Apps that request the appropriate permissions after the foreground service has been started must change this order of operations and request the permission before starting the foreground service.

The specifics of platform enforcement appear in the sections labeled "runtime requirements" in the intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type section on this page.

Casi d'uso previsti e applicazione forzata per ogni tipo di servizio in primo piano

Per utilizzare un determinato tipo di servizio in primo piano, devi dichiarare una determinata autorizzazione nel file manifest, soddisfare requisiti di runtime specifici e la tua app deve soddisfare uno degli insiemi di casi d'uso previsti per quel tipo. Le sezioni seguenti spiegano l'autorizzazione che devi dichiarare, i prerequisiti di runtime e i casi d'uso previsti per ciascun tipo.

FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA
Constant to pass to startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_CAMERA
Runtime prerequisites

Request and be granted the CAMERA runtime permission

Note: The CAMERA runtime permission is subject to while-in-use restrictions. For this reason, you cannot create a camera foreground service while your app is in the background, with a few exceptions. For more information, see Restrictions on starting foreground services that need while-in-use permissions.

FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_HEALTH
Runtime prerequisites

At least one of the following conditions must be true:

Note: The BODY_SENSORS and sensor-based READ runtime permissions are subject to while-in-use restrictions. For this reason, you cannot create a health foreground service that uses body sensors while your app is in the background unless you've been granted the BODY_SENSORS_BACKGROUND (API level 33 to 35) or READ_HEALTH_DATA_IN_BACKGROUND (API level 36 and higher) permissions. For more information, see Restrictions on starting foreground services that need while-in-use permissions.

Costante da passare a startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION
Prerequisiti di runtime

L'utente deve aver attivato i servizi di geolocalizzazione e all'app deve essere stata concessa almeno una delle seguenti autorizzazioni di runtime:

Nota: per verificare che l'utente abbia attivato i servizi di geolocalizzazione e abbia concesso l'accesso alle autorizzazioni di runtime, utilizza PermissionChecker#checkSelfPermission()

Nota:le autorizzazioni di runtime per l'accesso alla posizione sono soggette a limitazioni durante l'utilizzo. Per questo motivo, non puoi creare un servizio in primo piano location mentre l'app è in background, a meno che non ti sia stata concessa l'autorizzazione di runtime ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION. Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta Limitazioni all'avvio di servizi in primo piano che richiedono autorizzazioni in uso.

Descrizione

Casi d'uso di lunga durata che richiedono l'accesso alla posizione, come la navigazione e la condivisione della posizione.

Alternative

Se la tua app deve essere attivata quando l'utente raggiunge posizioni specifiche, consigliamo di utilizzare l'API geofence.

Servizio di Short

Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
shortService
Permission to declare in your manifest
None
Constant to pass to startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE
Runtime prerequisites
None
Description

Quickly finish critical work that cannot be interrupted or postponed.

This type has some unique characteristics:

  • Can only run for a short period of time (about 3 minutes).
  • No support for sticky foreground services.
  • Cannot start other foreground services.
  • Doesn't require a type-specific permission, though it still requires the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission.
  • A shortService can only change to another service type if the app is currently eligible to start a new foreground service.
  • A foreground service can change its type to shortService at any time, at which point the timeout period begins.

The timeout for shortService begins from the moment that Service.startForeground() is called. The app is expected to call Service.stopSelf() or Service.stopForeground() before the timeout occurs. Otherwise, the new Service.onTimeout() is called, giving apps a brief opportunity to call stopSelf() or stopForeground() to stop their service.

A short time after Service.onTimeout() is called, the app enters a cached state and is no longer considered to be in the foreground, unless the user is actively interacting with the app. A short time after the app is cached and the service has not stopped, the app receives an ANR. The ANR message mentions FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE. For these reasons, it's considered best practice to implement the Service.onTimeout() callback.

The Service.onTimeout() callback doesn't exist on Android 13 and lower. If the same service runs on such devices, it doesn't receive a timeout, nor does it ANR. Make sure that your service stops as soon as it finishes the processing task, even if it hasn't received the Service.onTimeout() callback yet.

It's important to note that if the timeout of the shortService is not respected, the app will ANR even if it has other valid foreground services or other app lifecycle processes running.

If an app is visible to the user or satisfies one of the exemptions that allow foreground services to be started from the background, calling Service.StartForeground() again with the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE parameter extends the timeout by another 3 minutes. If the app isn't visible to the user and doesn't satisfy one of the exemptions, any attempt to start another foreground service, regardless of type, causes a ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException.

If a user disables battery optimization for your app, it's still affected by the timeout of shortService FGS.

If you start a foreground service that includes the shortService type and another foreground service type, the system ignores the shortService type declaration. However, the service must still adhere to the prerequisites of the other declared types. For more information, see the Foreground services documentation.

Uso speciale

Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
specialUse
Permission to declare in your manifest
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE
Constant to pass to startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE
Runtime prerequisites
None
Description

Covers any valid foreground service use cases that aren't covered by the other foreground service types.

In addition to declaring the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE foreground service type, developers should declare use cases in the manifest. To do so, they specify the <property> element within the <service> element. These values and corresponding use cases are reviewed when you submit your app in the Google Play Console. The use cases you provide are free-form, and you should make sure to provide enough information to let the reviewer see why you need to use the specialUse type.

<service android:name="fooService" android:foregroundServiceType="specialUse">
  <property android:name="android.app.PROPERTY_SPECIAL_USE_FGS_SUBTYPE"
      android:value="explanation_for_special_use"/>
</service>

Esenzione dal sistema

Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
systemExempted
Permission to declare in your manifest
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED
Constant to pass to startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED
Runtime prerequisites
None
Description

Reserved for system applications and specific system integrations, to continue to use foreground services.

To use this type, an app must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Device is in demo mode state
  • App is a Device Owner
  • App is a Profiler Owner
  • Safety Apps that have the ROLE_EMERGENCY role
  • Device Admin apps
  • Apps holding SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM or USE_EXACT_ALARM permission and are using Foreground Service to continue alarms in the background, including haptics-only alarms.

  • VPN apps (configured using Settings > Network & Internet > VPN)

    Otherwise, declaring this type causes the system to throw a ForegroundServiceTypeNotAllowedException.

Applicazione delle norme di Google Play per l'utilizzo dei tipi di servizi in primo piano

Se la tua app ha come target Android 14 o versioni successive, devi dichiarare i tipi di servizi in primo piano della tua app nella pagina Contenuti app di Play Console (Norme > Contenuti app). Per ulteriori informazioni su come dichiarare i tipi di servizio in primo piano in Play Console, consulta Informazioni sui requisiti relativi al servizio in primo piano e all'intent a schermo intero.
