I think, this is something which should be possible to fix... I will look into this soon.. .

Hi,
I'm using the extension to start a foreground process and run some tasks. I want to do that without any notification sound or vibration. I searched the documentation and forum but found no guide to do it.
Is there any way to run a background task repeatedly without any notification? @Taifun
Are you using the alarmmanager extension? It looks like you posted in the wrong thread, because this extension does not start a foreground service.
Taifun
Yes, I'm using the alarm manager extension in combination with the itoo background tasks extension to start a foreground process in specified time intervals repeatedly. I used OnReceive event handler to start the foreground process or register some background events. How to use OnReceive without displaying the alarm notification?
Thank you
I did not think about that use case... currently we have 3 different start modes, I could add another start mode 'only background processing '
Currently as workaround it is possible on newer devices to just not ask for post notification permission
Taifun
Thank you. Due to other functionalities in my app, notification permission is required. I would be very grateful if you could add an 'only background processing' mode.
yes, thank you for your idea...
I will put it onto my to do list and as soon as I find time and motivation I will add the functionality
Taifun
Version 11 (beta) is now available in the download folder as well as an example project to show the new functionality
I added a new start mode "Only Background processing" as suggested by @Hossein1
Here are some example blocks to trigger some background processing without showing a notification

I need help, I installed the extension and tried to create a task application with notifications, I tried to guide me from examples and looking at the web page, the tasks are saved in the database but are not activated at the time
Show us the result from the Started event
And remember to use another id for each alarm, else the previously set alarm will be overwritten
Please read in the documentation about the difference between exact and inexact alarms

And as a side note, learn to switch screens correctly... instead of opening Screen1 again, use the close screen block

PS: next time first switch the language to English before taking a screenshot
