Run app in background, that fires an alarm whenever phone is shaking

So I am making a small alert app that fires an alarm whenever phone is shaking. Is there anyway to let the app run even when you close the app or the phone is off? Thank you

Try the itoo extension for this

Open Source • Background Tasks: Itoo

Itoo 4 [image] Graphics by Dennis Littawe [BuildWithLove] [Frame 1] The newer version of Itoo now has updated ItooX framework which runs more reliably across all platforms, devices and Android versions. Services Itoo supports two types of services. Foreground keeps the service alive throughout the session without interruptions. a permanent notification will be displayed throughout the session from Oreo. Background Task unlike the foreground task, it is executed on a different proc…

Guidelines for using Itoo

• First get your background functionality running in the foreground. Like this, you can find errors much easier. And as soon as you got it working in the foreground, then test it in the background.
• Read the complete Itoo to leaarn how Itoo works and try the example projects, See also the battery checker tutorial and notification listener and itoo tutorial .
• Do not use global variables while in the background, use local variables instead
• Do not use any user-visible or UI components in the background
• In the background, use the Itoo StoreProperty/FetchProperty methods rather than TinyDB. TinyDB relies on SharedPreferences which will not ensure data synchronization across background processes.
