I'm trying to create background service in Android Oreo using react-native-background-job but when I'll start the service is call success but Showing crash dialog service is stopped. please provide a solution for this problem.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { context.startForegroundService(starter); } else { context.startService(starter); }You are not allowed to start background service using startForegroundService - if service doesn't elevate itself into the foreground with startForeground and notification within 5 seconds, it will be killed by the system.
Take a look at related question and answers.
I got the solution in for react-native-background-job
