Check for application battery optimization status and open settings or disable it

Getting Started

Check if app is ignoring battery optimization

  OptimizeBattery.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations().then((onValue) {
      setState(() {
          if (onValue) {
              // Igonring Battery Optimization
          } else {
              // App is under battery optimization
          }
      });
  });

Take user to battery optimization settings

  OptimizeBattery.openBatteryOptimizationSettings()

Show battery optimization disable dialog

  OptimizeBattery.stopOptimizingBatteryUsage();

This opens the battery optimization disable dialog.

Example

Add the permission in Mainfest file

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>

It uses the intent(ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS). Which is not recommended unless its an excemtion case. Such as the applications main functionality needs the battery optimisation to be disabled.
