The pyjinius foreground service example

[Wilson Mutebi]

I have been trying to work on some applications with background service. It looks like the background service is automatically killed upon clearing the application from cache on android. So, I have tried to cover that up with a foreground service followith the example on github provided here. However the issue is that I do not know how to add the drawable icon to the service. I want to use a png file but it looks like its not recognisable when put in the same folder or when one puts it in a 'res' folder as available in the android documentation. 

Can Anyone to help me out?

The default is the app icon, I tried that with the default app icon and got a circle in the task bar.

The implementation is here:

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/develop/pythonforandroid/bootstraps/common/build/src/main/java/org/kivy/android/PythonService.java#L132

A perhaps bigger issue I don't think you will get the persistence you want with a foreground service started from Python.

Hello Robert. I have read through the links you sent. I wanted to ask if  its the  kivy version that I set to master with kivy==master or its the branch?
