How to Handle Background Services in Native Tizen App (C/C++)?

How to Handle Background Services in Native Tizen App (C/C++)?

BY 09 Jul 2025 General Support

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a native Tizen app (using C, google baseball) and need to implement a background service that continues running even when the main UI is closed. I’ve gone through the official documentation, but I’m still confused about the best way to structure this — especially when it comes to inter-process communication and lifecycle management.

Specifically, I’d love help with:

  • How to correctly set up and register the background service in the manifest?

  • What’s the recommended method to send data between the UI and background service?

  • Are there any limitations on memory usage or execution time I should be aware of? 

If anyone has experience doing this or has sample code to share, I’d really appreciate the guidance. Thanks in advance!
