Android Oreo stops my foreground service when I turn off screen. It happens, when device is unpluged. I test my app on Huawei MediaPad T5. I send test request every 30 seconds with Handler.postDelayed.
I read about background executions limits in Android 8. In migration guide, is written, that foreground service should work. I can't use JobScheduler, JobIntenService or WorkManager, because they can repeat only every 15 minutes.
I can't use Firebase Cloud Messaging, because my app does part of work offline.
I use also bound service, because it should not have background restrictions. Unfortunately, my app still not works correct.
I tried to use WakeLock, give service to another process, AlarmManager, add my app to Whitelist and it still not work.
I test running in background by simple post reqest. I connect to test server by Retrofit Library.

App works perfect, when tablet is charging or not charging and screen is on. Endomondo works correct even if screen is off. What do I wrong?
