Foreground services in Android 11
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Android 11 changes when foreground services can
access the device's location, camera, and microphone. This helps protect
sensitive user data.
- Camera and microphone foreground service types
- If your app targets Android 11 or higher and accesses the
camera or microphone in a foreground service, you must include the
camera and
microphone foreground service
types.
- Restrictions to access while in use
- If your app starts a foreground service while running in the
background, the
foreground service cannot access the microphone or camera. Additionally,
the service cannot access location unless your app
has background location access.

services in your app.
