GitHub - PabasaraDilshan/flutter_foreground_task: This plugin is used to implement a foreground service on the Android platform.

This plugin is used to implement a foreground service on the Android platform.

Features

Can perform repetitive task with foreground service.
Provides useful utilities (minimizeApp, wakeUpScreen, etc.) that can use when performing task.
Provides a widget that prevents the app from closing when the foreground service is running.
Provides a widget that can start the foreground service when the app is minimized or closed.
Provides an option to automatically resume foreground service on boot.

Getting started

To use this plugin, add flutter_foreground_task as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. For example:

dependencies:
  flutter_foreground_task: ^6.0.0+1

After adding the flutter_foreground_task plugin to the flutter project, we need to specify the permissions and services to use for this plugin to work properly.

🐤 Android

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and specify the service inside the <application> tag as follows. If you want the foreground service to run only when the app is running, add android:stopWithTask option.

<!-- Add android:stopWithTask option only when necessary. -->
<service 
    android:name="com.pravera.flutter_foreground_task.service.ForegroundService"
    android:stopWithTask="true" />

🐤 iOS

We can also launch flutter_foreground_task on the iOS platform. However, it has the following limitations.

Works only on iOS 10.0 or later.
If the app is forcibly closed, the task will not work.
Task cannot be started automatically on device reboot.
Due to the background processing limitations of the platform, the onRepeatEvent event may not work properly in the background. But in the foreground it works fine.

Objective-C:

To use this plugin developed in Swift language in a project using Objective-C, you need to add a bridge header. If you don't have an ios/Runner/Runner-Bridging-Header.h file in your project, check this page.
Open the ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift file and add the commented code.

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h"

// here
#import <flutter_foreground_task/FlutterForegroundTaskPlugin.h>

// here
void registerPlugins(NSObject<FlutterPluginRegistry>* registry) {
  [GeneratedPluginRegistrant registerWithRegistry:registry];
}

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
  [GeneratedPluginRegistrant registerWithRegistry:self];

  // here, Without this code the task will not work.
  [FlutterForegroundTaskPlugin setPluginRegistrantCallback:registerPlugins];
  if (@available(iOS 10.0, *)) {
    [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter].delegate = (id<UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>) self;
  }

  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

@end

Swift:

Declare the import statement below in the ios/Runner/Runner-Bridging-Header.h file.

#import <flutter_foreground_task/FlutterForegroundTaskPlugin.h>

Open the ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift file and add the commented code.

import UIKit
import Flutter

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)

    // here, Without this code the task will not work.
    SwiftFlutterForegroundTaskPlugin.setPluginRegistrantCallback(registerPlugins)
    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
      UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self as? UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
    }

    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
}

// here
func registerPlugins(registry: FlutterPluginRegistry) {
  GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: registry)
}

How to use

This plugin has two ways to start a foreground task. There is a way to manually start a foreground task and a way to start it when the app is minimized or closed by the WillStartForegroundTask widget.

🐥 Start manually

Initialize the FlutterForegroundTask. You can use the FlutterForegroundTask.init() function to set notifications and task options.

androidNotificationOptions: Options for setting up notifications on the Android platform.
iosNotificationOptions: Options for setting up notifications on the iOS platform.
foregroundTaskOptions: Options for setting the foreground task.

void _initForegroundTask() {
  FlutterForegroundTask.init(
    androidNotificationOptions: AndroidNotificationOptions(
      channelId: 'notification_channel_id',
      channelName: 'Foreground Notification',
      channelDescription: 'This notification appears when the foreground service is running.',
      channelImportance: NotificationChannelImportance.LOW,
      priority: NotificationPriority.LOW,
      iconData: const NotificationIconData(
        resType: ResourceType.mipmap,
        resPrefix: ResourcePrefix.ic,
        name: 'launcher',
      ),
      buttons: [
        const NotificationButton(id: 'sendButton', text: 'Send'),
        const NotificationButton(id: 'testButton', text: 'Test'),
      ],
    ),
    iosNotificationOptions: const IOSNotificationOptions(
      showNotification: true,
      playSound: false,
    ),
    foregroundTaskOptions: const ForegroundTaskOptions(
      interval: 5000,
      isOnceEvent: false,
      autoRunOnBoot: true,
      allowWakeLock: true,
      allowWifiLock: true,
    ),
  );
}

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  _initForegroundTask();
}

Add WithForegroundTask widget to prevent the app from closing when the foreground service is running.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  // A widget that prevents the app from closing when the foreground service is running.
  // This widget must be declared above the [Scaffold] widget.
  return WithForegroundTask(
    child: Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Flutter Foreground Task'),
        centerTitle: true,
      ),
      body: buildContentView(),
    ),
  );
}

Write callback and handler and start the foreground service. FlutterForegroundTask.startService() provides the following options:

notificationTitle: The title that will be displayed in the notification.
notificationText: The text that will be displayed in the notification.
callback: A top-level function that calls the setTaskHandler function.

// The callback function should always be a top-level function.
@pragma('vm:entry-point')
void startCallback() {
  // The setTaskHandler function must be called to handle the task in the background.
  FlutterForegroundTask.setTaskHandler(FirstTaskHandler());
}

class FirstTaskHandler extends TaskHandler {
  SendPort? _sendPort;

  // Called when the task is started.
  @override
  Future<void> onStart(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    _sendPort = sendPort;

    // You can use the getData function to get the stored data.
    final customData =
        await FlutterForegroundTask.getData<String>(key: 'customData');
    print('customData: $customData');
  }

  // Called every [interval] milliseconds in [ForegroundTaskOptions].
  @override
  Future<void> onRepeatEvent(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    // Send data to the main isolate.
    sendPort?.send(timestamp);
  }

  // Called when the notification button on the Android platform is pressed.
  @override
  Future<void> onDestroy(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }

  // Called when the notification button on the Android platform is pressed.
  @override
  void onNotificationButtonPressed(String id) {
    print('onNotificationButtonPressed >> $id');
  }

  // Called when the notification itself on the Android platform is pressed.
  //
  // "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" permission must be granted for
  // this function to be called.
  @override
  void onNotificationPressed() {
    // Note that the app will only route to "/resume-route" when it is exited so
    // it will usually be necessary to send a message through the send port to
    // signal it to restore state when the app is already started.
    FlutterForegroundTask.launchApp("/resume-route");
    _sendPort?.send('onNotificationPressed');
  }
}

class ExampleApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const ExampleApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      initialRoute: '/',
      routes: {

    if (!await FlutterForegroundTask.canDrawOverlays) {
      // This function requires `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` permission.
      await FlutterForegroundTask.openSystemAlertWindowSettings();
    }

    // Android 12 or higher, there are restrictions on starting a foreground service.
    //
    // To restart the service on device reboot or unexpected problem, you need to allow below permission.
    if (!await FlutterForegroundTask.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations) {
      // This function requires `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` permission.
      await FlutterForegroundTask.requestIgnoreBatteryOptimization();
    }

    // Android 13 and higher, you need to allow notification permission to expose foreground service notification.
    final NotificationPermission notificationPermissionStatus =
        await FlutterForegroundTask.checkNotificationPermission();
    if (notificationPermissionStatus != NotificationPermission.granted) {
      await FlutterForegroundTask.requestNotificationPermission();
    }
  }

  Future<bool> _startForegroundTask() async {
    // You can save data using the saveData function.
    await FlutterForegroundTask.saveData(key: 'customData', value: 'hello');

    // Register the receivePort before starting the service.
    final ReceivePort? receivePort = FlutterForegroundTask.receivePort;
    final bool isRegistered = _registerReceivePort(receivePort);
    if (!isRegistered) {
      print('Failed to register receivePort!');
      return false;
    }

    if (await FlutterForegroundTask.isRunningService) {
      return FlutterForegroundTask.restartService();
    } else {
      return FlutterForegroundTask.startService(
        notificationTitle: 'Foreground Service is running',
        notificationText: 'Tap to return to the app',
        callback: startCallback,
      );
    }
  }

  bool _registerReceivePort(ReceivePort? newReceivePort) {
    if (newReceivePort == null) {
      return false;
    }

    _closeReceivePort();

    _receivePort = newReceivePort;
    _receivePort?.listen((data) {
      if (data is int) {
        print('eventCount: $data');
      } else if (data is String) {
        if (data == 'onNotificationPressed') {
          Navigator.of(context).pushNamed('/resume-route');
        }
      } else if (data is DateTime) {
        print('timestamp: ${data.toString()}');

    return _receivePort != null;

      // You can get the previous ReceivePort without restarting the service.
      if (await FlutterForegroundTask.isRunningService) {
        final newReceivePort = FlutterForegroundTask.receivePort;
        _registerReceivePort(newReceivePort);
      }
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _closeReceivePort();
    super.dispose();
  }
}

class ResumeRoutePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const ResumeRoutePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Resume Route'),
        centerTitle: true,
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: ElevatedButton(
          onPressed: () {
            // Navigate back to first route when tapped.
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
          },
          child: const Text('Go back!'),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

As you can see in the code above, you can manage data with the following functions.

void function() async {
  await FlutterForegroundTask.getData(key: String);
  await FlutterForegroundTask.getAllData();
  await FlutterForegroundTask.saveData(key: String, value: Object);
  await FlutterForegroundTask.removeData(key: String);
  await FlutterForegroundTask.clearAllData();
}

If the plugin you want to use provides a stream, use it like this:

class FirstTaskHandler extends TaskHandler {
  StreamSubscription<Location>? _streamSubscription;

  @override
  Future<void> onStart(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    _streamSubscription = FlLocation.getLocationStream().listen((location) {
      FlutterForegroundTask.updateService(
        notificationTitle: 'My Location',
        notificationText: '${location.latitude}, ${location.longitude}',
      );

      // Send data to the main isolate.
      sendPort?.send(location);
    });
  }

  @override
  Future<void> onRepeatEvent(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }

  @override
  Future<void> onDestroy(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    await _streamSubscription?.cancel();
  }
}

Use FlutterForegroundTask.updateService() to update the foreground service. The options are the same as the start function.

// The callback function should always be a top-level function.
@pragma('vm:entry-point')
void startCallback() {
  // The setTaskHandler function must be called to handle the task in the background.
  FlutterForegroundTask.setTaskHandler(FirstTaskHandler());
}

class FirstTaskHandler extends TaskHandler {
  int _eventCount = 0;

  @override
  Future<void> onStart(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }

  @override
  Future<void> onRepeatEvent(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    if (_eventCount == 10) {
      FlutterForegroundTask.updateService(
        foregroundTaskOptions: const ForegroundTaskOptions(interval: 1000),
        callback: updateCallback,
      );
    } else {
      FlutterForegroundTask.updateService(
        notificationTitle: 'FirstTaskHandler',
        notificationText: timestamp.toString(),
      );

      // Send data to the main isolate.
      sendPort?.send(_eventCount);

      _eventCount++;
    }
  }

  @override
  Future<void> onDestroy(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }
}

@pragma('vm:entry-point')
void updateCallback() {
  FlutterForegroundTask.setTaskHandler(SecondTaskHandler());
}

class SecondTaskHandler extends TaskHandler {
  @override
  Future<void> onStart(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }

  @override
  Future<void> onRepeatEvent(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {
    FlutterForegroundTask.updateService(
      notificationTitle: 'SecondTaskHandler',
      notificationText: timestamp.toString(),
    );

    // Send data to the main isolate.
    sendPort?.send(timestamp);
  }

  @override
  Future<void> onDestroy(DateTime timestamp, SendPort? sendPort) async {

  }
}

If you no longer use the foreground service, call FlutterForegroundTask.stopService().

Future<bool> _stopForegroundTask() {
  return FlutterForegroundTask.stopService();
}

🐥 Start with `WillStartForegroundTask` widget

    android:name="com.pravera.flutter_foreground_task.service.ForegroundService"
