Google Nearby Message API notifications when app is closed?

I wonder if there is any way to configure an app(Android and iOS) using native Google Nearby Message API sdk to get eddystone beacons notifications when the app is completely closed?.

Right now I have background scanning configured and it's working OK, but I also need to support the case when the app is closed. Thanks, Jose.

You might consider using the Android Beacon Library to do the background detection for initially launch your app. Once running, you can continue to use this library to process detections or start using Nearby APIs at that time.

To auto launch in the background on detection, see the "Starting an App in the Background" section here

You will need to register the Eddystone beacon parser like this: beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT));. You can read more about using the library with Eddystone here
