Is there a way to monitor without having to provide a notification. I would like to monitor in the background silently.
Thank you
i see startWithSimpleScanner() <-- can’t
startWithScannerInForegroundService(notification) <-- is this required.
Thanks
Hey @mssdev1
No, there is no possibility to scan in the background without knowledge of the user.
We have to keep up with Android official guidelines, and launching “silent scan” without the notification is not permitted by the system - if you do so, your service might be killed in any moment, without your knowledge. We don’t want this behaviour, so we decided to only allow scanning in the background using foreground service with notification
If you need to be notified when user enters your zone, you might consider using NearbyAPI by Google, but we are not officially supporting it in our ProximitySDK for now.
Cheers!
Thanks for replying. i understand.
