To help developers be more intentional with defining user-facing foreground
services, Android 10 introduced the android:foregroundServiceType
attribute within the <service>
element.
If your app targets Android 14, it must specify appropriate foreground service types. As in previous versions of Android, multiple types can be combined. This list shows the foreground service types to choose from:
camera
connectedDevice
dataSync
health
location
mediaPlayback
mediaProjection
microphone
phoneCall
remoteMessaging
shortService
specialUse
systemExempted
If a use case in your app isn't associated with any of these types, we strongly recommend that you migrate your logic to use WorkManager or user-initiated data transfer jobs.
The health, remoteMessaging, shortService, specialUse
, and systemExempted
types are new in Android 14.
The following code snippet provides an example of a foreground service type declaration in the manifest:
<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>
If an app that targets Android 14 doesn't define types for a given service in
the manifest, then the system will raise MissingForegroundServiceTypeException
upon calling startForeground()
for that service.
声明新权限来使用前台服务类型
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.
在运行时包含前台服务类型
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
.
系统运行时检查
The system checks for proper use of foreground service types and confirms that
the app has requested the proper runtime permissions or uses the required APIs.
For instance, the system expects apps that use the foreground service type
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_LOCATION
type to request either
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
.
This implies that apps must follow a very specific
order of operations when requesting permissions from the user and starting
foreground services. Permissions must be requested and granted before the
app attempts to call startForeground()
. Apps that request the appropriate
permissions after the foreground service has been started must change this order
of operations and request the permission before starting the foreground service.
The specifics of platform enforcement appear in the sections labeled "runtime requirements" in the intended use cases and enforcement for each foreground service type section on this page.
每种前台服务类型的预期用例和强制执行
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.

短期服务
- 要在清单中的以下位置声明的前台服务类型
android:foregroundServiceType
shortService
- 在清单中声明的权限
- 无
- 要传递给
startForeground()
的常量 FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE
- 运行时前提条件
- 无
- 说明
快速完成不可中断或推迟的关键工作。
这种类型有一些独特的特征:
- 只能持续运行一小段时间(大约 3 分钟)。
- 不支持粘性前台服务。
- 无法启动其他前台服务。
- 不需要类型专用权限,不过它仍需要
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
权限。 - 只有当应用当前符合启动新前台服务的条件时,
shortService
才能更改为其他服务类型。 - 前台服务可以随时将其类型更改为
shortService
,届时超时期限将开始。
shortService 的超时时间从调用
Service.startForeground()
开始算起。应用应在发生超时之前调用Service.stopSelf()
或Service.stopForeground()
。否则,系统会调用新的Service.onTimeout()
,让应用有机会调用stopSelf()
或stopForeground()
来停止其服务。调用
Service.onTimeout()
后的短时间内,应用会进入缓存状态,并且不再被视为处于前台,除非用户正在主动与应用互动。应用缓存一小段时间后,服务还未停止,该应用会收到 ANR 消息。ANR 消息提及FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE
。出于这些原因,实现Service.onTimeout()
回调被视为一种最佳实践。Android 13 及更低版本中不存在
Service.onTimeout()
回调。如果同一服务在此类设备上运行,则不会出现超时,也不会发生 ANR。确保您的服务在完成处理任务后立即停止,即使它尚未收到Service.onTimeout()
回调也是如此。请务必注意,如果未遵循
shortService
的超时设置,即使应用还有其他有效的前台服务或其他应用生命周期进程,应用也会遇到 ANR。如果应用对用户可见,或满足允许从后台启动前台服务的某一豁免条件,则使用
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SHORT_SERVICE
参数再次调用Service.StartForeground()
会将超时时间再延长 3 分钟。如果应用对用户不可见且不满足其中一个豁免条件,则尝试启动其他前台服务(无论其类型如何)都会导致ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException
。即使用户为您的应用停用电池优化功能,仍然会受到 shortService FGS 的影响。
如果您启动包含
shortService
类型和另一个前台服务类型的前台服务,系统会忽略shortService
类型声明。不过,该服务仍必须遵守其他声明类型的先决条件。如需了解详情,请参阅前台服务文档。

使用前台服务类型时强制执行的 Google Play 政策
如果您的应用以 Android 14 或更高版本为目标平台,您需要在 Play 管理中心的“应用内容”页面(政策 > 应用内容)中声明应用的前台服务类型。如需详细了解如何在 Play 管理中心内声明前台服务类型,请参阅了解前台服务和全屏 intent 要求。
