Android background services alternative on Oreo

I want to create a background only app (no activities, no launcher icon, etc...), since I'm relatively new to Android, I don't know what to use. I saw there was the background services but it seems to be depreciated with Android API 26+ (Oreo).

So, what is the preferred way to do this now?

In case I have root access, is it possible to do it?

Even though background services are restricted in Oreo and beyond, foreground services are still supported. If you want to create an app with no activities, using a foreground service that starts on boot is a valid option.
