Optimizing for Doze and App Standby

  Starting from Android 6.0 (API level 23), Android introduces two power-saving features that extend battery life for users by managing how apps behave when a device is not connected to a power source. Dozereduces battery consumption by deferring background CPU and network activity for apps when the device is unused for long periods of time. App Standby defers background network activity for apps with which the user has not recently interacted.

  Doze and App Standby manage the behavior of all apps running on Android 6.0 or higher, regardless whether they are specifically targeting API level 23. To ensure the best experience for users, test your app in Doze and App Standby modes and make any necessary adjustments to your code. The sections below provide details.

Understanding Doze

  If a user leaves a device unplugged and stationary for a period of time, with the screen off, the device enters Doze mode. In Doze mode, the system attempts to conserve battery by restricting apps' access to network and CPU-intensive services. It also prevents apps from accessing the network and defers their jobs, syncs, and standard alarms.

  Periodically, the system exits Doze for a brief time to let apps complete their deferred activities. During thismaintenance window, the system runs all pending syncs, jobs, and alarms, and lets apps access the network.

  Figure 1. Doze provides a recurring maintenance window for apps to use the network and handle pending activities.

  At the conclusion of each maintenance window, the system again enters Doze, suspending network access and deferring jobs, syncs, and alarms. Over time, the system schedules maintenance windows less and less frequently, helping to reduce battery consumption in cases of longer-term inactivity when the device is not connected to a charger.

  As soon as the user wakes the device by moving it, turning on the screen, or connecting a charger, the system exits Doze and all apps return to normal activity.

Doze restrictions

  The following restrictions apply to your apps while in Doze:

Doze checklist

Adapting your app to Doze

  Doze can affect apps differently, depending on the capabilities they offer and the services they use. Many apps function normally across Doze cycles without modification. In some cases, you must optimize the way that your app manages network, alarms, jobs, and syncs. Apps should be able to efficiently manage activities during each maintenance window.

  Doze is particularly likely to affect activities thatAlarmManager alarms and timers manage, because alarms in Android 5.1 (API level 22) or lower do not fire when the system is in Doze.

  To help with scheduling alarms, Android 6.0 (API level 23) introduces two new AlarmManager methods:setAndAllowWhileIdle() and setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(). With these methods, you can set alarms that will fire even if the device is in Doze.

  Note: Neither setAndAllowWhileIdle() nor setExactAndAllowWhileIdle() can fire alarms more than once per 9 minutes, per app.

  The Doze restriction on network access is also likely to affect your app, especially if the app relies on real-time messages such as tickles or notifications. If your app requires a persistent connection to the network to receive messages, you should use Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) if possible.

  To confirm that your app behaves as expected with Doze, you can use adb commands to force the system to enter and exit Doze and observe your app’s behavior. For details, see Testing with Doze and App Standby.

Understanding App Standby

  App Standby allows the system to determine that an app is idle when the user is not actively using it. The system makes this determination when the user does not touch the app for a certain period of time and none of the following conditions applies:

  • The user explicitly launches the app.
  • The app has a process currently in the foreground (either as an activity or foreground service, or in use by another activity or foreground service).
  • The app generates a notification that users see on the lock screen or in the notification tray.

When the user plugs the device into a power supply, the system releases apps from the standby state, allowing them to freely access the network and to execute any pending jobs and syncs. If the device is idle for long periods of time, the system allows idle apps network access around once a day.

Using GCM to Interact with Your App While the Device is Idle

  Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a cloud-to-device service that lets you support real-time downstream messaging between backend services and apps on Android devices. GCM provides a single, persistent connection to the cloud; all apps needing real-time messaging can share this connection. This shared connection significantly optimizes battery consumption by making it unnecessary for multiple apps to maintain their own, separate persistent connections, which can deplete the battery rapidly. For this reason, if your app requires messaging integration with a backend service, we strongly recommend that you use GCM if possible, rather than maintaining your own persistent network connection.

  GCM is optimized to work with Doze and App Standby idle modes by means of high-priority GCM messages. GCM high-priority messages let you reliably wake your app to access the network, even if the user’s device is in Doze or the app is in App Standby mode. In Doze or App Standby mode, the system delivers the message and gives the app temporary access to network services and partial wakelocks, then returns the device or app to idle state.

  High-priority GCM messages do not otherwise affect Doze mode, and they don’t affect the state of any other app. This means that your app can use them to communicate efficiently while minimizing battery impacts across the system and device.

  As a general best practice, if your app requires downstream messaging, it should use GCM. If your server and client already uses GCM, make sure that your service uses high-priority messages for critical messages, since this will reliably wake apps even when the device is in Doze.

Support for Other Use Cases

  Almost all apps should be able to support Doze by managing network connectivity, alarms, jobs, and syncs properly, and using GCM high-priority messages. For a narrow set of use cases, this might not be sufficient. For such cases, the system provides a configurable whitelist of apps that are partially exempt from Doze and App Standby optimizations.

  An app that is whitelisted can use the network and hold partial wake locks during Doze and App Standby. However, other restrictions still apply to the whitelisted app, just as they do to other apps. For example, the whitelisted app’s jobs and syncs are deferred, and its regular AlarmManager alarms do not fire. An app can check whether it is currently on the exemption whitelist by calling isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations().

  Users can manually configure the whitelist in Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization. Alternatively, the system provides ways for apps to ask users to whitelist them.

  Before asking the user to add your app to the whitelist, make sure the app matches the acceptable use cases for whitelisting.

  Note: Google Play policies prohibit apps from requesting direct exemption from Power Management features in Android 6.0+ (Doze and App Standby) unless the core function of the app is adversely affected.

Testing with Doze and App Standby

  To ensure a great experience for your users, you should test your app fully in Doze and App Standby.

Testing your app with Doze

  You can test Doze mode by following these steps:

  1. Configure a hardware device or virtual device with an Android 6.0 (API level 23) or higher system image.
  2. Connect the device to your development machine and install your app.
  3. Run your app and leave it active.
  4. Shut off the device screen. (The app remains active.)
  5. Force the system to cycle through Doze modes by running the following commands:
    $ adb shell dumpsys battery unplug
    $ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle step

    You may need to run the second command more than once. Repeat it until the device state changes to idle.

  6. Observe the behavior of your app after you reactivate the device. Make sure the app recovers gracefully when the device exits Doze.

Testing your app with App Standby

  To test the App Standby mode with your app:

  1. Configure a hardware device or virtual device with an Android 6.0 (API level 23) or higher system image.
  2. Connect the device to your development machine and install your app.
  3. Run your app and leave it active.
  4. Force the app into App Standby mode by running the following commands:
    $ adb shell dumpsys battery unplug
    $ adb shell am set-inactive <packageName> true
  5. Simulate waking your app using the following commands:
    $ adb shell am set-inactive <packageName> false
    $ adb shell am get-inactive <packageName>
  6. Observe the behavior of your app after waking it. Make sure the app recovers gracefully from standby mode. In particular, you should check if your app's Notifications and background jobs continue to function as expected.

Acceptable Use Cases for Whitelisting

  The table below highlights the acceptable use cases for requesting or being on the Battery Optimizations exceptions whitelist. In general, your app should not be on the whitelist unless Doze or App Standby break the core function of the app or there is a technical reason why your app cannot use GCM high-priority messages.

  For more information, see Support for Other Use Cases.

Type Use-case Can use GCM? Whitelisting acceptable? Notes
Instant messaging, chat, or calling app. Requires delivery of real-time messages to users while device is in Doze or app is in App Standby. Yes, using GCM Not Acceptable Should use GCM high-priority messages to wake the app and access the network.
Yes, but is not using GCM high-priority messages.
Instant messaging, chat, or calling app; enterprise VOIP apps. No, can not use GCM because of technical dependency on another messaging service or Doze and App Standby break the core function of the app. Acceptable  
Task automation app App's core function is scheduling automated actions, such as for instant messaging, voice calling, new photo management, or location actions. If applicable. Acceptable  
Peripheral device companion app App's core function is maintaining a persistent connection with the peripheral device for the purpose of providing the peripheral device internet access. If applicable. Acceptable  
App only needs to connect to a peripheral device periodically to sync, or only needs to connect to devices, such as wireless headphones, connected via standard Bluetooth profiles. If applicable. Not Acceptable
