Download Listener when app is killed

[skfaisal93]

I want to perform some actions like updating the database and show a custom notification when downloaded is completed even app is killed.

1. Will download continue after app killed by swiping?
2. If yes, then will the listener would awake to perform an action even app status is killed?

I tried to do this with the Android DownloadManger class but the listener won't awake once app gets killed.

I noticed that when I show Toast in onProgress then it continue download even after app killed. But when I don't show Toast then it stops.

Maybe app is still alive because your toast, so download is in progress.

How can I keep the app alive even after the app is killed without showing Toast in onProgress? Is it possible?

It's impossible, but foreground process will live longer，maybe you can start a foreground service.
