Hi,
I find a solution to remove notification by updating the source file "cordova-plugin-background-mode/src/android/ForegroundService.java".
remove "startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, makeNotification());" line 105 and insert this lines:

Notification note = new Notification( 0, null, System.currentTimeMillis() );
note.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground( NOTIFICATION_ID, note );

I use Ionic Framework its work for me

[hoongoon86]

Solution from @ouarrar works great.
Just make sure that you set none of default or config settings.
However, There's another notification message pops up when the app goes to background.
It says,

App is running. Touch for more information or to stop the app

which is caused by startForeground().

Update:
So, I've just removed
startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, makeNotification());
as well as
Notification note = new Notification( 0, null, System.currentTimeMillis() );
note.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground( NOTIFICATION_ID, note );
and it seems it works good to me (Android 5 and 6).
My app uses background for timer and alert, notification

Hi, i have the same problem with silent: true. Notification shows logo without any text and it i can't close or open app clicking on this notification.

ForegroundService.java file has "startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, makeNotification());" but it not on 105 line. So i removed it and added another code from @hoongoon86 post but it doesnt help.
Please show me your code from ForegroundService.java file

Thanks!

Hi everyone,after I set cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults( silent: true), the nootification was gone.

[igor90]

@fenglu09 Thank you for your response. Your solution it is not quite right for me.

I want app to work without notification(silent true), but after some users actions i want app to show some notification. And it works but sometime app shows empty notification - only logo without any text.
How to hide the empty notification?

It is my code:

[fenglu09]

Have you set the text or title properties？

[igor90]

Yes, I set the default settings:
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
title: 'My App',
text: 'You have running service!'
});

Screen what i see http://coment.me/RvusJZe

[fenglu09]

Well, I don't know how to solve it too.

[igor90]

@fenglu09 Thank you, anyway!

I will try to write more details about my problem

1. Installed app with all permissions
2. I ran app
3. I sent app to tray
4. I locked the screen by few seconds
5. I unlocked the screen
6. Empty notification appeared

Android version 5.1
cordova version 6.3.1
cordova-plugin-background-mode 0.6.5 "BackgroundMode"

By the way i set "silent: true" in default settings, but this bug in any case is there

Thanks!

[katzer]

@igor90, did you had the chance to test with v.0.6.6-dev (master)? I've fixed the silent mode in the meantime.

[katzer]

Please re-open if still present with latest master branch (0.6.6)

[ronaiza-cardoso]

I'm using cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.configure({ silent: true }); and the notification is still shown. I have cloned from branch

[katzer]

Now it should work!

[kyomaya]

Please, reopen the issue.
I'm still having trouble in android 6. I'm using cordova 6.3.1 and ionic 1 and angular 1 too.
In android 5, it seens to work OK, but in android 6 I still get the "Application is doing heavy tasks" notification after a while when the app is in background.

Here is my code:
// in app.js
if( ionic.Platform.isAndroid() ) {
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
silent:true
});
if(!cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.isEnabled()){
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
}
}

//in my controller

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
var onPauseInterval = null;
var onlogInterval = null;
var iteracoes=1;

document.addEventListener("pause",onPause,false);
document.addEventListener("resume",onResume,false);

function onPause() {
log("onPause...");

};

function onResume() {
log("onResume...");
clearInterval(onlogInterval);
//cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disable();
};

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', function () {
log("On activate...Timer= "+settings.timer);
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
log("disableWebViewOptimizations");
var i=1;
onPauseInterval = window.setInterval(function() {
log("reloadAllBackGround "+i);
$scope.reloadAllBackGround();
i++;
}, (1000*60)*settings.timer);

onlogInterval = window.setInterval(function() {
  iteracoes++;
  log("Total time running == "+(iteracoes*5));
}, (1000*60)*5);

});

});

Thanks in advance.

Please, reopen the issue.
I'm using v0.6.6-dev and the notification appears right away.
Thanks for the effort.

@N7snake If you want to hide the notification you can do like this :

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({ 
        title:  'TheTitleOfYourProcess',
        text:   'Executing background tasks.',
		silent: true
    });

[faustoct1]

@noluckskills it minimize but didn't solve to me. At certain point the notification suddenly appears. I don't know exactly the scenario but shows up. Got many user's complain specially by the message not to be friendly.
"App is running in back. Doing have tasks." is not a kindly message users like to see.

@katzer Is there a straight way to fix/silent it ?

my code very simple:

        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({ silent: true })
        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.configure({})

        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', function() {
           cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
        });

        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('deactivate', function() {
           cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enableWebViewOptimizations();
        });

        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('enable', function() {
        });

        cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();

[ya55en]

Setting defaults as shown:

backgroundMode.setDefaults({
  title: 'My App Name',
  text: 'Checking for new info',
  silent: true,
})

works fine for me on Android 6.0 (this is ionic3/angular5).

@faustoct: not sure what your issue may be, but it seems there's no cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enableWebViewOptimizations() on the first place (or I don't find it in the documentation).

[githubRavindra]

for modify notification ====== Ionic3 (write code in app.component.ts)====

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
title: String,
text: String,
icon: 'icon' // this will look for icon.png in platforms/android/res/drawable|mipmap
color: String // hex format like 'F14F4D'
resume: Boolean,
hidden: Boolean,
bigText: Boolean
})

for hide notification

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({ silent: true });
