Easy way to detect when your app is going to be killed
Recently I needed a way of detecting when the app is going to be killed and execute some operations.
Here is a really easy solution by using an IntentService:
class AppKilledDetectingService: IntentService("AppKilledDetectingService") {
override fun onHandleIntent(intent: Intent?) {}
override fun onTaskRemoved(rootIntent: Intent?) {
// Do your operations before the app is killed
}
Add the service in the manifest:
...
<application ...>
...
<service android:name=".AppKilledDetectingService" android:stopWithTask="true"/>
</application>
And that is all you need to do! 👻
