Attribute GDC GBC GMA GMI
androidKeepForeground

An Android™ app can switch between foreground to background states.

By default, when the app goes to background state, a notification is shown by GMA to give a higher priority to the app, and to prevent Android stopping the app if resources are required for other apps. The notification disappears, when the app returns to foreground state.

Use the androidKeepForeground style attribute to control the way the GMA forces Android to keep your app alive.

Values can be:
  • "yes" (default): The app remains in foreground state: to keep it in foreground state, a notification is displayed when the app goes background.
  • "no": The app can switch between foreground and background state (no notification is displayed to force the app to remain in foreground state)
Important: When using androidKeepForeground=no, GMA will no longer use a notification to keep the app in foreground, and Android may stop the app at any time.
