Google Analytics service Intent crashes on Android

I have upgraded my app to support SDK 26 and now Google Analytics causes crashes when running on Android Oreo:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.analytics.ANALYTICS_DISPATCH cmp=com.example.android/com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService }: app is in background uid UidRecord{3f302e5 u0a107 RCVR idle procs:1 seq(0,0,0)} at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:3259) at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap17(Unknown Source) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1677) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:105) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:164) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:6541) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java) at com.android.internal.os.Zygote$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(Zygote.java:240) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:767) Caused by java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.analytics.ANALYTICS_DISPATCH cmp=com.example.android/com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService }: app is in background uid UidRecord{3f302e5 u0a107 RCVR idle procs:1 seq(0,0,0)} at android.app.ContextImpl.startServiceCommon(ContextImpl.java:1505) at android.app.ContextImpl.startService(ContextImpl.java:1461) at android.content.ContextWrapper.startService(ContextWrapper.java:644) at android.content.ContextWrapper.startService(ContextWrapper.java:644) at com.google.android.gms.internal.zzaot.onReceive(Unknown Source:68) at com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver.onReceive(Unknown Source:11) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:3252) at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap17(Unknown Source) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1677) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:105) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:164) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:6541) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java) at com.android.internal.os.Zygote$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(Zygote.java:240) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:767)

This is my relevant Manifest:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.globalConfigResource"
    android:resource="@xml/analytics"/>
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

<!-- Optionally, register AnalyticsReceiver and AnalyticsService to support background
     dispatching on non-Google Play devices -->
<receiver
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver"
    android:enabled="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.ANALYTICS_DISPATCH"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="false"/>

<!-- Optionally, register CampaignTrackingReceiver and CampaignTrackingService to enable
     installation campaign reporting -->
<receiver
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver"
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingService"
    android:exported="true"/>

Having hundreds of Oreo devices crashing due to this in past 24 hours. Seems to be affecting only on install. I am going to try and add android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" to the 2 analytics services and see. Will report.

I Will be happy to provide more info if needed. Thanks

I recommend upgrading to play-services version 11.4.0. Add this in your Gradle file:

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.4.0

From the Play Services Revision 11.4.0, analytics section:

Added a new class AnalyticsJobService. This class provides compatibility support for Android O and is used by Analytics to upload data. No action is necessary to use this class, it’s added automatically as part of the Analytics package.
Deprecated the getContext() method of the AnalyticsService class.
Deprecated the CampaignTrackingService class.

and also you have to get permission. android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"

See below https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/analytics/AnalyticsJobService

回答2:

because CampaignTrackingService is now Deprecated

just remove this line from your manifest

<service android:name="com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingService"
         android:exported="true"/>
