created issue #1

Jan 19, 2020 11:14AM

Component used: work-manager
Version used: 2.2.0-rc04
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Pixel 4 - Android 10

WorkManager now support long running workers with foreground notification:

https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager/advanced/long-running

And the Javadoc for ForegroundInfo clearly shows that I can specify the foregroundServiceType as I would for a standard foreground service:

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/ForegroundInfo.html#ForegroundInfo(int,%20android.app.Notification,%20int)

Except when I do:

setForegroundAsync(
ForegroundInfo(
NOTIFICATION_ID,
syncNotificationManager.createSyncForegroundNotification(),
ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_CONNECTED_DEVICE
or ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC
)
)

from my Work I get this exception as soon as I try to run the work:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: foregroundServiceType 0x00000011 is not a subset of foregroundServiceType attribute 0x00000000 in service element of manifest file

at com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.onTransact(ActivityManagerService.java:2741)

The reason is that the work library still rely on the service manifest which has no foregroundServiceType attribute specified (0x00000000) and i'm requesting a specific foregroundServiceType (0x00000011).

<service
android:name="androidx.work.impl.foreground.SystemForegroundService"
android:directBootAware="false"
android:enabled="@bool/enable_system_foreground_service_default"
android:exported="false"
tools:targetApi="n" />

my current workaround is to just copy this in my manifest and add my foregroundServiceType.

I briefly tried and seems like it is working as I want but I'm not sure if this is ok. If this is the correct way it should be documented!

This is what I added to my manifest:

<service
android:name="androidx.work.impl.foreground.SystemForegroundService"
android:directBootAware="false"
android:enabled="@bool/enable_system_foreground_service_default"
android:exported="false"
android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync"
tools:targetApi="n" />

I copied yours and added

android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync"

which is what I needed.

> We will explicitly call it out in the documentation.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I looked at the following doc pages, but didn't find this information:

https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager/advanced/long-running

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/ListenableWorker#setForegroundAsync(androidx.work.ForegroundInfo)

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/ForegroundInfo#ForegroundInfo(int,%20android.app.Notification,%20int)

Or did I just miss it?

ra...@google.com <ra...@google.com> #8Jun 10, 2020 04:31PM

We have lint rules that actually enforce this. That's why we did not explicitly call this out.

Can you run ./gradlew :app:lintDebug to confirm?

mu...@gmail.com <mu...@gmail.com> #9Jun 10, 2020 05:56PM

I'm using version 2.4.0-beta01 of WorkManager. lintDebug doesn't show me any warning about WorkManager.

ra...@google.com <ra...@google.com> #10Jun 10, 2020 06:03PM

Which Studio version are you using? That usually determines if lint rules are correctly picked up.

I don't get a lint warning for the code above. Using 2.4.0-beta01

Lint does not have a stable API. So depending on the version of Studio & the WorkManager version, it may not run in the IDE. Have you tried running ./gradlew :app:lintnDebug ?

Status: Assigned (reopened)

I have encountered the same issue, lint in the IDE does not report the problem.

However, if I run ./gradlew :app:lintDebug I get this

 Error: Missing dataSync foregroundServiceType in the AndroidManifest.xml [SpecifyForegroundServiceType from androidx.work]
        ForegroundInfo(1, notification, ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC)

I think mentioning it in the doc would be nice.
