Android periodic work friendly to doze mode and app standby
I'm trying to found a best way to perform periodic work in android that will play nicely with doze mode and app standby.
I've tried WorkManager with periodic request, it works fine at the beginning (for 15 mins requests) but the time slots diminishes as time goes by, after a week its seems to get triggered only once per day.
What is the best way to get the required behavior and still be doze mode and app standby friendly?
I thought about it(FCM), but after reading the FCM documentation, I've decided it's not the way, in docs it's stated ". High priority messages generally should result in user interaction with your app. If FCM detects a pattern in which they don't, your messages may be de-prioritized."

I also read that, so don't use high-priority, I think it's still your best option... when you get the push, enqueue a
OneTimeWorkRequest , it will be triggered when the system decides (maybe immediately), but it will trigger eventually. In my app I use both PeriodicWorkRequest and OneTimeWorkRequest triggered by FCM, they both trigger the same work.– Hed Shafran

Do you need network access?

In some of the case I do need network access. How often do you send your FCM messages? Doesnt it violate google policies ?

If you have a server I think FCM this is your best option: developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/…
