A lightweight Android library that keeps an app's background service process alive ('undead') by running paired services and broadcast receivers in two processes that resurrect each other. It supports Android API 9 through 23 and survives force-close and third-party memory cleaners on major device brands.

Use cases

  • keep android background service alive
  • prevent app from being killed by clean master
  • restart service automatically after force close
  • make boot receiver survive device reboot
  • implement process daemon in android app

When to choose

  • you must keep a legacy Android app (API 9-23) running persistently in the background
  • your service gets killed by system settings force-stop or third-party cleaner apps
  • you need a boot receiver that reliably restarts your service

When to avoid

  • targeting Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer, where these keep-alive tricks no longer work
  • you want battery-friendly, policy-compliant background execution (use WorkManager or foreground services instead)
  • you need an actively maintained library
