Android Wear WearableListenerService doesn't trigger on Android 8 Oreo when app closed
I have a WearableListenerService on a phone app that receives a DataItem from the watch (in onDataChanged). The code is essentially the same you have on the documentation (I can add it if useful).
When a new DataItem is received, I show a notification to the user on the phone.
It works for Android 5, regardless if the app is running or killed. It also works on Android O API 26 if the app is running/in memory, but it doesn't if I kill the app first (by swiping): the WearableListenerService does not run then.
I'm aware of the background execution limits on Android 8, but I don't how to deal with them in this case since it's Android that should start the service while my app is in background so that I can react to the Data Layer changes.
Is there a way to listen for Data Layer events on Android 8 while the app is in background?
