Usage

1. Open up android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest

• Add <service android:name="kendhia.reactlibrary.BackgroundJobsService" />.
• Add the following permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

1. Inside your index.js
   • Register the service the same way you register your app. AppRegistry.registerHeadlessTask('BackgroundJobsEvent', () => BackgroundJobsEvent);
   • Now, you can define the code you want to be running forever. Ex:

   const BackgroundJobsEvent = async () => {
       console.log("running forever...")
   };
