Android Background Work Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Implementation Guidelines

WorkManager

CoroutineWorker: Use for all background tasks.
Constraints: explicit (Require Network, Charging).
Hilt: Use @HiltWorker for DI integration. Inject dependencies via @AssistedInject constructor; bind with HiltWorkerFactory in WorkManager configuration.

Foreground Services

Only When Necessary: Use generating visible notifications only for tasks user actively aware of (Playback, Calls, Active Navigation). Otherwise use WorkManager.

Anti-Patterns

No IntentService: Deprecated. Use WorkManager for all background tasks.
No Short Background Jobs: Use Coroutines in ViewModel scope instead.
