<p>Android O introduced new restrictions to background processes making it impossible for us to run in the background without this notification. <br />

We can still disable it on Android <Oreo. <br />
The only way to completely avoid it is to get rid of the BackgroundService which seems very difficult (if not impossible) to me.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R225 KDE Connect - Android application</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D8966" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D8966</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>mtijink, KDE Connect<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>apol, albertvaka, nicolasfella<br /></div>
