How to make app work in Unity background?

Question

Unity

In android, you can minimize the application, but how to make sure that it continues to work.
For example, so that the sound continues to work and is placed in the notification shade.

Answer 1

Unity Android sees applications as a normal Activity. By minimizing the application, you pause the Activity. Android is free to close all paused applications at will, even Application.runInBackground does not work (in iOS too). A solution that will help you: write a service in Java / Kotlin and then start it when minimizing / closing it and stop it when you open the application.
