Exclude Android app from being put into standby bucket












0















With Android 9 battery optimization has been pushed further and apps are classified into standby buckets depending on how much the user has recently interacted with the app (see Android documentation). The system limits the device resources available to each app based on which bucket the app is in.



How can I keep my app in the "working set" bucket, even if the user does not interact with it? (I do not find any permission or similar that allows to override this power management feature.)



More specifically, I have a PeriodicWorkRequest that must run once every 30 minutes with a flexibility of 10 minutes. However, if I understand the table of imposed power restrictions such a work request could be deferred up to 24 hours, if my app is put into the "rare" bucket. (Under the hood, the Work library uses the job scheduler.)
