  • Why don't you use job scheduler? – ankushalg Nov 26 '18 at 15:03

  • You can use job sheduler for that. Sample code for this and the methods to achieve it are documented in the below blog post. http://midhunhk.github.io/dev/2018/08/05/content-observer-service/ – ankushalg Nov 26 '18 at 15:13

On Oreo, you can receive broadcast receiver for sms even if application isn't on memory as you mentioned it by 'killed'.

As you said, from android oreo, the broadcast receiver can't receive implicit intent even if it is defined on android manifest.

But sms receive is a whitelisted so you can receive it even if you application isn't on memory.

Please check below link.
