Android Background Work Standards

**Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

Implementation Guidelines

WorkManager

  • **CoroutineWorker**: Use for all background tasks.
  • **Constraints**: 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 user 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.
