Overview

A Flutter plugin enabling continuous execution of Dart code on Android even when the app is closed. It allows background tasks such as periodic data fetching, location tracking, or long-running operations without interruption. Designed specifically for Android, it leverages foreground services to maintain operation under system constraints. The plugin integrates seamlessly with Flutter and provides a simple API for starting, stopping, and managing background tasks. Ideal for apps requiring persistent background functionality.
