Monitoring Estimote Beacons even if the app is closed

Yes, this is exactly what I’ve done and it works fine ! It seems that returning START_STICKY in the onStartCommand() of the service makes the service restart when the app is killed … Looks good but I don’t now if it’s the best way to do… If you have any other suggestions to make a service run even if the app is killed it’d be great !

START_STICKY only restart your service when it killed by OS ( as i read ), but when your app is kill from task service is stopped…

the only way i can make app stil running in the background is Remove app from task, app is stil running even user clear all Task in android ( no the best way )

and i create alarmManager to handle it

1. for start & configure beaconManager
2. for checking my service is running or not.

but my BeaconService is stopMonitoring when phone locked,

@Michal_Hrezdovic hi, is your BeaconService/BeaconManager is really working when phone locked ? because in my case when i’m lock my phone beaconService+BluetoothAdapter is stop produce the log in logCat.

Is Monitoring Region still running when Phone Sleep / Lock?

Hi, i’m new in iBeacon Development, i want to ask about beacon Monitoring, is Beacon Monitoring Region stil running when phone is sleep or lock ? because when i see my LogCat, estimote beacon startLeScan and stopLeScan not running again after device sleep/lock and my notification in entered region not trigered i’m create a services for handle Beacon Monitoring in background, my services is always on even my app is destroy/kill/force close, when user force stop my services, it will run again…
