Management Service Priority

I have an Android app that runs a background service that reads sensor data every second. I found out that if there are other applications, I do not collect my data every second (I have no seconds). I assume that the OS does not give me enough processor time.

Can I change the priority of a service among running tasks in order to get enough CPU and execute it?

(The service is called from the action using StartService(mIntentService).)

The easiest way would be to use the startForeground () function, which notifies the system about how to use the service as a user that users know about, and can be paused or paused, so it will receive the same attention as running applications. You need to provide a notification object so that the user is informed about the running service.
