Android motion sensor listener gets killed after 1 minute

I want to have an app that can receive event updates from the MotionSensors, even if the app is in the background. The problem is that android kills any service if the app has been in the background for one minute.

val sensorsManager = context.getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE) as SensorManager
sensorManager.registerListener( .. )

Does anyone know a simple way of fixing this behaviour? Either using code or better, disabling some setting on android. Thanks.

First of all, in order to run it permanently, there must be a notification that it is running permanently.This notification is permanent and you cannot turn it off from the notification section.

Service.kt

private fun parmanentNotification() {
        val notification=NotificationCompat.Builder(this,channelId)
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
            .setContentTitle("The application is running")
            .setContentText("Android motion sensor working")
            .build()
        startForeground(1,notification)
    }

This is how we start my service

@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
    override fun onStart() {
        val notificationIntent = Intent(this, YouServiceName::class.java)
        startService(notificationIntent)
        super.onStart()
    }
