Foreground service is killed in Android 10

Question

In Android 10, some manufacturer comes with the new feature in a battery optimization setting (see the picture). My foreground service getting killed by OS after some time when the screen is off.

I have used the foreground service with notification. This code is working well when the screen is ON in all devices. I am facing this issue in OnePlus and realMe device, both having an android 10 OS.

I want to know, Is there any way to solve this problem? Is there any way to know in my device is having such kind of setting?

Thanks for help!

I was getting the same problem, in my case the service gets location in background so, I have to add foregroundServiceType and it works fine. https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#app-access-device-location

android:foregroundServiceType="location"
