Android O: Replace sticky service with jobdispatcher -

since android o not allow background services run, did choose different approach run new thread in background using firebase jobscheduler, see: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-jobdispatcher-android

at moment, start background thread in service. sticky service, , restart if user closes app recents (when slide remove app running apps).

public class notificationservice extends service {  @override public void oncreate() {     // start thread     applicationloader.postinitapplication(); }  @override public int onstartcommand(intent intent, int flags, int startid) {     return start_sticky; }  @override public ibinder onbind(intent intent) {     return null; } 

since android o not allow service started in background, implemented jobdispatcher. works fine, problem is:

how can restart job when app closed recents?

starting job:

firebasejobdispatcher dispatcher = new firebasejobdispatcher                 (new googleplaydriver(applicationcontext));          job notificationjob = dispatcher.newjobbuilder()                 .setservice(notificationservice.class)                 .settag("backgroundjob")                 .setrecurring(false)                 .setlifetime(lifetime.until_next_boot)                 .settrigger(trigger.now)                 .build();         dispatcher.mustschedule(notificationjob); 

the service:

public class notificationservice extends jobservice {  @override public boolean onstartjob(jobparameters job) {     // check if thread started, if not start thread     applicationloader.initnotificationthread();     return false; }  @override public boolean onstopjob(jobparameters job) {     return false; } 

one workaround problem make job recurring using .setrecurring(true), , set .settrigger 1 minute. job can check if thread running already, , if not start thread. keeps working, if user removes app recents.

however, solution feels uncomfortable start check each time while isn't needed.

is there better way solve this?
