title: How to keep a foreground app running 24/7?
body: <p>I am looking into how to keep my Android app running in the foreground.</p>
  
  <p>It will be a privately distributed app, so I can do anything possible to make sure it runs constantly on the device (HDMI TV Stick)</p>
  
  <p>So, how can I make sure that the app stays running no matter what? The app is pretty light weight in terms of resource usage, so having it run 24/7 should hopefully not be a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I read about the persistent parameter in the manifest, but it looks like it might only apply to system apps?</p>
  
  <p>Should I make my app a system app? How would I do that and would it help?</p>
