> Limited access to sensors in background
Android 9 limits the ability for background apps to access user input and sensor data. If your app is running in the background on a device running Android 9, the system applies the following restrictions to your app:
Your app cannot access the microphone or camera.
Sensors that use the continuous reporting mode, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, don't receive events.
Sensors that use the on-change or one-shot reporting modes don't receive events.
