Android Background Work Standards

Priority: P1

Implementation Guidelines

WorkManager

  • CoroutineWorker: Use for all background tasks.
  • Constraints: Be 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 the user is 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.
