为了帮助开发者更有目的地定义面向用户的前台服务,Android 10 在 <service>
元素内引入了 android:foregroundServiceType
属性。
如果您的应用以 Android 14 为目标平台,则必须指定适当的前台服务类型。与以前的 Android 版本一样,可组合使用多个类型。下面列出了可供选择的前台服务类型:
camera
connectedDevice
dataSync
health
location
mediaPlayback
mediaProjection
microphone
phoneCall
remoteMessaging
shortService
specialUse
systemExempted
如果应用中的用例与这些类型均不相关,强烈建议您迁移逻辑以使用 WorkManager 或用户发起的数据传输作业。
Android 14 中新增了 health, remoteMessaging, shortService, specialUse
和 systemExempted
类型。
以下代码段提供了一个清单中的前台服务类型声明示例:
<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>
如果以 Android 14 为目标平台的应用未在清单中定义给定服务的类型,系统会在调用 startForeground()
时引发 MissingForegroundServiceTypeException
。
Declare new permission to use foreground service types
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.
Include foreground service type at runtime
The best practice for applications starting foreground services is to use the
ServiceCompat
version of startForeground()
(available in androidx-core
1.12 and higher) where you pass in a bitwise
integer of foreground service types. You can choose to pass one or more type
values.
Usually, you should declare only the types required for a particular use case. This makes it easier to meet the system's expectations for each foreground service type. In cases where a foreground service is started with multiple types, then the foreground service must adhere to the platform enforcement requirements of all types.
ServiceCompat.startForeground(0, notification, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION)
If the foreground service type is not specified in the call, the type defaults
to the values defined in the manifest. If you didn't specify the service
type in the manifest, the system throws
MissingForegroundServiceTypeException
.
If the foreground service needs new permissions after you launch it, you
should call startForeground()
again and add the new service types. For
example, suppose a fitness app runs a running-tracker service that always needs
location
information, but might or might not need media
permissions. You
would need to declare both location
and mediaPlayback
in the manifest. If a
user starts a run and just wants their location tracked, your app should call
startForeground()
and pass just the location
service type. Then, if the user
wants to start playing audio, call startForeground()
again and pass
location|mediaPlayback
.
System runtime checks
系统会检查前台服务类型的使用是否恰当,并确认应用是否已请求适当的运行时权限或使用所需的 API。例如,系统希望使用前台服务类型 FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION
的应用请求 ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
或 ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
。
这意味着,在向用户请求权限和启动前台服务时,应用必须遵循非常具体的操作顺序。应用在尝试调用 startForeground()
之前,必须先请求并获得所需的权限。在启动前台服务后请求相应权限的应用必须更改此顺序,并在启动前台服务之前请求该权限。
本页面的每种前台服务类型的预期用例和强制执行部分中标记为“运行时要求”的部分列出了平台强制执行的具体内容。
Intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type
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.

Short service
- Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
shortService
- 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_SERVICE
permission. - A
shortService
can 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
shortService
at 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
shortService
is 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_SERVICE
parameter 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
shortService
type and another foreground service type, the system ignores theshortService
type declaration. However, the service must still adhere to the prerequisites of the other declared types. For more information, see the Foreground services documentation.
Special use
- Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
specialUse
- Permission to declare in your manifest
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE
- Constant to pass to
startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE
- Runtime prerequisites
- None
- Description
Covers any valid foreground service use cases that aren't covered by the other foreground service types.
In addition to declaring the
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE
foreground service type, developers should declare use cases in the manifest. To do so, they specify the<property>
element within the<service>
element. These values and corresponding use cases are reviewed when you submit your app in the Google Play Console. The use cases you provide are free-form, and you should make sure to provide enough information to let the reviewer see why you need to use thespecialUse
type.<service android:name="fooService" android:foregroundServiceType="specialUse"> <property android:name="android.app.PROPERTY_SPECIAL_USE_FGS_SUBTYPE" android:value="explanation_for_special_use"/> </service>
System exempted
- Foreground service type to declare in manifest under
android:foregroundServiceType
systemExempted
- Permission to declare in your manifest
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED
- Constant to pass to
startForeground()
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED
- Runtime prerequisites
- None
- Description
Reserved for system applications and specific system integrations, to continue to use foreground services.
To use this type, an app must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Device is in demo mode state
- App is a Device Owner
- App is a Profiler Owner
- Safety Apps that have the
ROLE_EMERGENCY
role - Device Admin apps
- Apps holding
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM
orUSE_EXACT_ALARM
permission VPN apps (configured using Settings > Network & Internet > VPN)
Otherwise, declaring this type causes the system to throw a
ForegroundServiceTypeNotAllowedException
.
Google Play policy enforcement for using foreground service types
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.
