Keep Counting - a basic Flutter Foreground Service Demo App (Android)

Introduction

This project is a demonstration Flutter application showcasing the basic usage of the flutter_foreground_task plugin. Its primary focus is to exemplify the implementation of bidirectional communication between the main app and a foreground service.

The project is intended to serve as a foundation for discussion and learning within the Flutter community. Please note that this is an initial release and not yet a mature implementation. As such, it should be considered a conceptual example rather than a ready-to-use template for your own applications.

Features

• Utilizes the flutter_foreground_task plugin for robust foreground service handling.
• Showcases how to setup the communication between the main app and the foreground service.

Usage

This demo application showcases a foreground service implementation using Flutter. It features an interactive counter that continuously operates as a foreground service, ensuring uninterrupted functionality even when the app is minimized or running in the background on your device.
