I tried stopping a recording from my own app on Android 17.
From the manual that intent should be started by startActivity, but in this point the manual is wrong.
Unfortunately trying startBroadcast failed, too.
I'm not sure if there is some newer restriction regarding broadcast execution.

Hi,

unfortunately Huawai doesn't explain those dependencies, but probably existance of a connected widget seems to help that the app is not killed. I have a small app written that works that way.



With my Honor 5c I also noted that allowing notifications for Orux on the lock screen via system settings may help.

Hello,

@Fritz: Please check the download page how to activate the fused location provider in Orux.



With that provider it works much better for me. But unfortunately the system stops Orux after some time. For other apps this could be avoided by a simple widget. Possibly something is not optimal with the Orux widget that doesn't help as expected.

Unfortunately for recording tracks I had to switch to another app. For me "Easy GPS logger" works fine on my Honor 5c. Possibly some ideas from that app may be adopted to Orux, too.

With my Honor 5c and most current SW I noted some curious behaviour. If starting recording via the widget every few minutes some points are stored. But as soon as I show the map the background recording no longer works.

Btw. background processing on that device in general will be stopped even if all recommended settings are applied. But it seems to work if there is a widget involved.
