Service could not gracefully restart

[erisanolasheni]

Hello, good day.

We use flutter foreground service, to calculate user steps in the background and display them in a sticky notification.

The problem we are trying to tackle now is app stops working in the background after some time but retains the sticky foreground notification, hanging at "x" last counted steps before the stop. We have gotten these reports from quite a number of our users. After several debugs, we think this happens when the operating system tries to free resources by restarting the foreground service.

Do you have any advice on how to make flutter foreground service restart gracefully whenever the Operating System forces it to do so and continue whatever activity from where it stopped without any seizure?

I noticed that Foreground Service shut down after a day or so of stable operation.
I have an idea to use Alarm Manager or Worker Manager to restart the frontend service, but I want to make sure that this is technically feasible or is there already a similar implementation?
I'm not familiar with Android, @Dev-hwang Thanks for your help

I discovered that this library has already implemented the use of Alarm Manager to restart the service:
