Android Background Work Standards

Priority: P1

Implementation Guidelines

WorkManager

  • CoroutineWorker: Use for all background tasks.
  • Constraints: Be explicit (Require Network, Charging).
  • Hilt: Use @HiltWorker for DI integration. Inject dependencies via @AssistedInject constructor; bind with HiltWorkerFactory in WorkManager configuration.

Foreground Services

  • Only When Necessary: Use generating visible notifications only for tasks the user is actively aware of (Playback, Calls, Active Navigation). Otherwise use WorkManager.

Anti-Patterns

  • No IntentService: Deprecated. Use WorkManager for all background tasks.
  • No Short Background Jobs: Use Coroutines in ViewModel scope instead.
