This is one of the most annoying android errors ever.
I've one service in my app that must run always that user is running the app.
Since android doesn't allow me to have a background service always on, and to have a foreground service on i must keep an annoying notification to the user. I turn on and turn off the service as the user goes background or foreground.
So, In a "pseudocode" I do:
app went background?
is the service working? yes! -> keep running it : no! -> turn off
app went foreground?
is the service on? yes! -> do nothing : no! -> turn service on
The problem is when the user goes foreground and background very quickly.
In this situation the app call the method startService() to start the service, but before the method finishes user goes background then i get:
Caused by java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent cmp=com.tomatedigital.instagramgiveawaywinner/com.tomatedigital.giveawaymaster.service.MyService : app is in background uid UidRecord78dfb43 u0a139 TPSL bg:+2m52s319ms idle change:cached procs:1 seq(203,203,203)

The most annoying think is i can't block user to go background, neither can catch this exception since it is thrown asynchrounously bys some android service wake up routine
HOW CAN I DEAL WITH IT
i would say 0,1% of my users go in this situation (is a few users but is a very annoying error)
