My background service stops after clicking the recent apps close button on Android 13

[Lingeshwaran78]

W startForegroundService() not allowed due to mAllowStartForeground false:
service com.example.helloworld/id.flutter.flutter_background_service.BackgroundService

Is there any extra permission I need to get?

I have a Xiaomi Note 12 with Android 13 and I usually experience the same problem. More recently, all brands that use some modified Android interface have something that kills foreground services. This website shows some workarounds: dontkillmyapp

In Xiaomi, I usually enable auto-start in the settings menu. There isn't an option to auto-activate this setting, so you need to trust the user to do it manually. There is a library that you can use to check if auto-start is enabled, but it only checks; it does not enable it for you.
