**[Problem/Question]**  
Not able to receive incoming call notification when the app is in background/kill state in android 15 & 16. Getting the security exception tried with the my own app and the sendbird android github sample repo ( quickstart-calls-directcall-android → Sendbird Calls for Android Quickstart ) as well., the issue log is as below.

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Starting FGS with type microphone callerApp=ProcessRecord{f6c6629 11179:com.sendbird.calls.quickstart/u0a481} targetSDK=35 requires permissions: all of the permissions allOf=true [android.permission.FOREGROUND\_SERVICE\_MICROPHONE] any of the permissions allOf=false [android.permission.CAPTURE\_AUDIO\_HOTWORD, android.permission.CAPTURE\_AUDIO\_OUTPUT, android.permission.CAPTURE\_MEDIA\_OUTPUT, android.permission.CAPTURE\_TUNER\_AUDIO\_INPUT, android.permission.CAPTURE\_VOICE\_COMMUNICATION\_OUTPUT, android.permission.RECORD\_AUDIO] and the app must be in the eligible state/exemptions to access the foreground only permission.

**[SDK Version]**  
com.sendbird.sdk:sendbird-calls:1.12.3

**[Reproduction Steps]**  
Run the app (github sample app) in two devices.  
Login with different users in each of devices.  
Minimize/kill the app from one device and make call from other device (Android Version should be 15 or above in receiving device).  
Expected behavior → Calling notification should be shown with accept/Declined buttons.  
Current behavior → No notification are appears, if you check the log inside android studio then you can see the above error log which I’ve shared the above.

I providing the reference of sendbird call android sample app as the same issue is with my project too.

**[Frequency]**  
Every time when the app is in background/Kill state.

**[Current impact]**  
If the user minimize or kill the app then not able to receive (or can see) the incoming calls, a user only can see the incoming calls while the app is open.
