I have a service in my app which needs to be running in the background all the time. On all devices, it's working fine except Xiaomi. I have read somewhere that we need to enable auto-start in settings for an app to keep a service running.
So please tell me how to enable auto-start programmatically, because the user will never do that.
You cannot enable auto start directly, but you can redirect user to auto start setting screen and ask user to turn it on for your app. Use the below solution for xiaomi, oppo, vivo, letv, honor, asus, nokia, huawei phones. Autostart screen will be launched if it exists.
try { val intent = Intent() val manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER when { "xiaomi".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity" ) } "oppo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity" ) } "vivo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity" ) } "letv".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity" ) } "honor".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity" ) } "asus".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.asus.mobilemanager", "com.asus.mobilemanager.powersaver.PowerSaverSettings" ) } "nokia".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.evenwell.powersaving.g3", "com.evenwell.powersaving.g3.exception.PowerSaverExceptionActivity" ) } "huawei".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true) -> { intent.component = ComponentName( "com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.startupmgr.ui.StartupNormalAppListActivity" ) } } startActivity(intent) } catch (e: Exception) { /*Timber.e(e)*/ } Quvonchbek Y answered
Try this...it's working for me. It will open the screen to enable autostart. But if you try to disable from there it will close the app. I am figuring out a solution for that. Till then you can use this as solution.
String manufacturer = "xiaomi"; if(manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) { //this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")); startActivity(intent); }

if ("xiaomi".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) { intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")); } else if ("oppo".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) { intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")); } else if ("vivo".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) { intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.MainGuideActivity.")); } 
I stumbled upon this library. Autostarter. It is a autostarter library for different device manufacturers
Last time i used it, it had support for Xiaomi and Letv devices. I cant really give you code examples, but i hope it helps someone who stumbles upon this
@rajkumar is right, but you have to take care with Xiaomi running pure Android, MI A1, MI A2 and MI A3 is coming, so you should add something like:
if (Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase().contains("xiaomi") && !Build.MODEL.toLowerCase().contains("mi a")){ //intent } 
you can do it by following:
if (manufactXiaomi.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) { if (!session.getVisibilityOfAutoStartDialog()) {Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")); startActivity(intent);}} if you want to keep running your service is the background you need to change some setting of your device Check This
might above code works for you
