I have implemented the blocks to call in the background but when I run it nothing happens (ps. the blocks work when it is used without itoo)

You can't make a phone call in the background

so how else should I implement it, can I make the app open itself when the value is detected?

This is not as simple as you think, because the user might currently be using another app or the device might be locked.

The only 2 extensions currently which are able to open the app from the background are the alarmmanager extension and sms receiver extension.

Then what do you suggest I should do for my usecase

Also I forgot to mention, the phone will always be open and I will run one other specific application if at all I am doing so

If you are running only your application on thag device you can keep the screen on using my tools extension together with the KeepScreenOn method and do everything in the foreground, no background functionality required
