Try itoo method CreateProcess and use a clock component to send the notification after 15 seconds in the timer event handler
Taifun
I understand, friend. But I really need something using createTask. It really doesn't work? Why would someone create a function that doesn't work lol
Why? To avoid the persistent notification for the foreground service?
The 15 seconds are only to test and later you plan to use another value more in the future? In this case this would be a job for an alarmmanager

I just wish someone would teach me how to "CreateTask". I get angry when I can't use something, and it's been keeping me up at night lol. Could you please create a screenshot of how the "CreateTask" function could be used PLEASE.
CreateTask uses the JobScheduler API of Android, which has a maximum life span of ~15 minutes. This is used for non-critical tasks such as uploading logs or debug information to a server.
For a user-visible task, use CreateProcess, and there won't be a permanent notification on Android 15+ devices.
Then, in the procedure, use a clock component, set its interval, listen to the Clock's Timer event, and create and post a notification there.
Refer to the "Doing a GET request every 5 seconds" in the topic's guide:
In the bgTimer, replace the Web blocks with your Melon Notification blocks.
I have tried simpleItooProject.aia on Motorola Android15 phone. The service runs even if app is not active but only for 3 to 4 hours and after that it stops working. To make it work again it requires re installation or storage needs to be clear. Please guide. Thanks
Concerning Motorola read this Motorola | Don’t kill my app!
Also you can try
EDIT: also what version of itoo uses that example project? Upgrade to the latest version

I am using the latest version of itoo. I tried the batopt.aia, which is working fine, but again it worked for around 4 hours then stopped. Only difference is that it no longer required to reinstall or clear the storage to get the push notifications again.
Please provide a screenshot of your blocks as well as the project (aia file)

Earlier i built a mqtt app, which was stooping after sometime. Because of that I am sending notification message every 30 minutes with timestamp to see after how long the app stops.
Yes, unrestricted battery background usage is enabled
This should help a bit. It is a Motorola device-specific behaviour.
Keep the application open in recent menu and check if you have an option to "Lock app".
[How can we run a task at a specified time? The yellow block is not supported. I need the procedure to run at a specified time of 00:05.

I bought this extension a long time ago, but it doesn't solve my problem. That's why it needs a background data refresh at 12:05 AM.
