Broadcast receiver stops registering broadcasts after a few seconds

@Override
protected void onStart() {
startService(new Intent(this, jam_service.class));
super.onStart();
As soon as I create my main activity, I start my service that looks like this
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(myBroadcastReceiver.BroadcastTypes.METADATA_CHANGED);
IntentFilter(myBroadcastReceiver.BroadcastTypes.PLAYBACK_STATE_CHANGED);
intentFilter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
return START_STICKY;
Which registers this broadcast receiver
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
c.writeNewUser(intent.getStringExtra("track"),"user", intent.getStringExtra("track"));
The broadcast receiver detects when the user changes songs in Spotify, and it works sometimes for a short period of time after launching my app and then switching to Spotify, or when my app is open and changing Spotify songs from the notification bar. I want this receiver to never stop listening to broadcasts, even after my app has been in the background for a while. Why does it stop working?

you are registering receiver inside Service?

@Augusto yep, the receiver is being created within the service, which is created as soon as onCreate in the main activity is run.

The services restart every time that you close the app, apparentely your problem is that.

you are registering receiver inside Service?
– Augusto

@Augusto yep, the receiver is being created within the service, which is created as soon as onCreate in the main activity is run.
