Foreground Service Being Killed On Notification Click

In Android 4.4.2 clicking on my Foreground Service notification is killing my process. On older devices (Samsuing Tab 2 running 4.2.2), I can swipe away the Activity from Recent Ta

Solution 1:

Add FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND flag to the PendingIntent used from your notification in order to allow the Service to run at Foreground priority.

Intent newIntent = newIntent(context, BroadcastToOrderedBroadcast.class);
newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND);
return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(NativeService.getInstance(), mNotificationID, newIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
