You should read this article about Services . But also, you should read about some limitations that there are especially for Android Oreo and above. For example if you have your app closed the OS may kills your Services. Check this link for Background Execution Limits . If you are looking for notifications you should implement a Service that extends MyFirebaseMessagingService and override onMessageReceived method. Please check this link.

Please check the documentation on Foreground Service.

Note: You need to show a notification in order to launch Foreground Service. And don't forget that your Service is running on UI thread.
