Starting FGS with type none callerApp=ProcessRecord{c23a512 15473:mypackage/u0a350} targetSDK=34 has been prohibited

Question

I'm getting this exception when scheduling a work manager task.

android.app.InvalidForegroundServiceTypeException: Starting FGS with type none callerApp=ProcessRecord{c23a512 15473:mypackage/u0a350} targetSDK=34 has been prohibited

I added

    <service
        android:name="androidx.work.impl.foreground.SystemForegroundService"
        android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"
        android:exported="false"
        android:stopWithTask="false"
        tools:node="merge"/>

And the issue is still happening.

I then updated from work manager from 2.7.0 to 2.9.0 and still didn't help.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the issue could be. The exception is happening at at androidx.work.impl.foreground.SystemForegroundService$Api31Impl.startForeground(SystemForegroundService.java:193)

I've also checked and the merged manifest does have my stuff.

Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Answer 1

I must have missed a step. I had to add ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC to the ForegroundInfo constructor.
