To help developers be more intentional with defining user-facing foreground
services, Android 10 introduced the android:foregroundServiceType
attribute within the <service> element.
If your app targets Android 14, it must specify appropriate foreground service types. As in previous versions of Android, multiple types can be combined. This list shows the foreground service types to choose from:
cameraconnectedDevicedataSynchealthlocationmediaPlaybackmediaProjectionmicrophonephoneCallremoteMessagingshortServicespecialUsesystemExempted
If a use case in your app isn't associated with any of these types, we strongly recommend that you migrate your logic to use WorkManager or user-initiated data transfer jobs.
The health, remoteMessaging, shortService, specialUse, and systemExempted
types are new in Android 14.
The following code snippet provides an example of a foreground service type declaration in the manifest:
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK" />
<application ...>
<service
android:name=".MyMediaPlaybackService"
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback"
android:exported="false">
</service>
</application>
</manifest>
If an app that targets Android 14 doesn't define types for a given service in
the manifest, then the system will raise MissingForegroundServiceTypeException
upon calling startForeground() for that service.
הצהרת הרשאה חדשה לשימוש בסוגי שירותים שפועלים בחזית
If apps that target Android 14 use a foreground service, they must declare a specific permission, based on the foreground service type, that Android 14 introduces. These permissions appear in the sections labeled "permission that you must declare in your manifest file" in the intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type section on this page.
All of the permissions are defined as normal permissions and are granted by default. Users cannot revoke these permissions.
הכללת סוג השירות שפועל בחזית בזמן הריצה
השיטה המומלצת לאפליקציות שמפעילות שירותים שפועלים בחזית היא להשתמש בגרסה ServiceCompat של startForeground() (זמינה ב-androidx-core 1.12 ואילך), שבה מעבירים מספר שלם בינארי של סוגי השירותים שפועלים בחזית. אפשר לבחור להעביר ערך טיפוס אחד או יותר.
בדרך כלל, צריך להצהיר רק על הסוגים הנדרשים לתרחיש לדוגמה מסוים. כך קל יותר לעמוד בציפיות של המערכת לגבי כל סוג של שירות שפועל בחזית. במקרים שבהם שירות שפועל בחזית מופעל עם כמה סוגים, השירות שפועל בחזית צריך לעמוד בדרישות האכיפה של הפלטפורמה של כל הסוגים.
ServiceCompat.startForeground(0, notification, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION)
אם לא מציינים את סוג השירות שפועל בחזית בקריאה, הערך שמוגדר כברירת מחדל הוא הערכים שמוגדרים במניפסט. אם לא ציינתם את סוג השירות במניפסט, המערכת תשליך את השגיאה MissingForegroundServiceTypeException.
אם לשירות שפועל בחזית נדרשות הרשאות חדשות אחרי ההפעלה שלו, צריך להפעיל שוב את startForeground() ולהוסיף את סוגי השירות החדשים. לדוגמה, נניח שאפליקציית כושר מפעילה שירות למעקב אחר ריצה שתמיד צריך להשתמש בו במידע location, אבל יכול להיות שהוא לא יצטרך הרשאות media. חשוב להצהיר גם על location וגם על mediaPlayback במניפסט. אם משתמש מתחיל ריצה ורוצה לעקוב רק אחרי המיקום שלו, האפליקציה צריכה לקרוא ל-startForeground() ולהעביר רק את סוג השירות location. לאחר מכן, אם המשתמש רוצה להפעיל את האודיו, קוראים שוב startForeground() ומעבירים את location|mediaPlayback.
בדיקות זמן ריצה של המערכת
The system checks for proper use of foreground service types and confirms that
the app has requested the proper runtime permissions or uses the required APIs.
For instance, the system expects apps that use the foreground service type
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION type to request either
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
This implies that apps must follow a very specific
order of operations when requesting permissions from the user and starting
foreground services. Permissions must be requested and granted before the
app attempts to call startForeground(). Apps that request the appropriate
permissions after the foreground service has been started must change this order
of operations and request the permission before starting the foreground service.
The specifics of platform enforcement appear in the sections labeled "runtime requirements" in the intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type section on this page.
תרחישים לדוגמה ואכיפה שמיועדים לכל סוג של שירות שפועל בחזית
In order to use a given foreground service type, you must declare a particular permission in your manifest file, you must fulfill specific runtime requirements, and your app must fulfill one of the intended sets of use cases for that type. The following sections explain the permission that you must declare, the runtime prerequisites, and the intended use cases for each type.

שירות מקוצר
- Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceTypeshortService- Permission to declare in your manifest
- None
- Constant to pass to
startForeground() FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE- Runtime prerequisites
- None
- Description
Quickly finish critical work that cannot be interrupted or postponed.
This type has some unique characteristics:
- Can only run for a short period of time (about 3 minutes).
- No support for sticky foreground services.
- Cannot start other foreground services.
- Doesn't require a type-specific permission, though it still
requires the
FOREGROUND_SERVICEpermission. - A
shortServicecan only change to another service type if the app is currently eligible to start a new foreground service. - A foreground service can change its type to
shortServiceat any time, at which point the timeout period begins.
The timeout for shortService begins from the moment that
Service.startForeground()is called. The app is expected to callService.stopSelf()orService.stopForeground()before the timeout occurs. Otherwise, the newService.onTimeout()is called, giving apps a brief opportunity to callstopSelf()orstopForeground()to stop their service.A short time after
Service.onTimeout()is called, the app enters a cached state and is no longer considered to be in the foreground, unless the user is actively interacting with the app. A short time after the app is cached and the service has not stopped, the app receives an ANR. The ANR message mentionsFOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE. For these reasons, it's considered best practice to implement theService.onTimeout()callback.The
Service.onTimeout()callback doesn't exist on Android 13 and lower. If the same service runs on such devices, it doesn't receive a timeout, nor does it ANR. Make sure that your service stops as soon as it finishes the processing task, even if it hasn't received theService.onTimeout()callback yet.It's important to note that if the timeout of the
shortServiceis not respected, the app will ANR even if it has other valid foreground services or other app lifecycle processes running.If an app is visible to the user or satisfies one of the exemptions that allow foreground services to be started from the background, calling
Service.StartForeground()again with theFOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICEparameter extends the timeout by another 3 minutes. If the app isn't visible to the user and doesn't satisfy one of the exemptions, any attempt to start another foreground service, regardless of type, causes aForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException.If a user disables battery optimization for your app, it's still affected by the timeout of shortService FGS.
If you start a foreground service that includes the
shortServicetype and another foreground service type, the system ignores theshortServicetype declaration. However, the service must still adhere to the prerequisites of the other declared types. For more information, see the Foreground services documentation.

- Description
Covers any valid foreground service use cases that aren't covered by the other foreground service types.

These values and corresponding use cases are reviewed when you submit your app in the Google Play Console.

אכיפת המדיניות של Google Play בנושא שימוש בסוגי שירותים שפועלים בחזית
If your app targets Android 14 or higher, you'll need to declare your app's foreground service types in the Play Console's app content page (Policy > App content). For more information on how to declare your foreground service types in Play Console, see Understanding foreground service and full-screen intent requirements.
