Not detecting beacons after app killed

[aashu09]

Hi Support,
I have been using Altbeacon library since last year but now facing problems in some device.
Please resolve it.

Expected behavior

After killing the app, beacon detection should work same as foreground or background.

Actual behavior

After killing the app, beacon detection never works.

Steps to reproduce this behavior

1. Open the app
2. Detect beacon
3. Kill the App

Mobile device model and OS version

device model - HUAWEI_NEM-L22
OS version - 6.0

Android Beacon Library version

2.14

Please repeat this test with the reference app here:

https://github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference

Then reboot the phone with a beacon transmitting and attach a LogCat trace for 1 minute before and 5 minutes after the phone reboot.

If you can attach these logs I will review and investigate

In most Chinese ROMs, the Android OS is customized for extensive battery conservation. As a result, scheduled jobs, pending intents, START_STICKY services, etc. never get delivered.

I have not seen myself that Huawei blocks START_STICKY, but if confirmed, it may be possible to use a scheduled job to restart the library's scanning services on a 15 minute cycle for manufacturers known to do this.
