This article has been merged into the updated, more comprehensive version:
How to Record Video in the Background on Android (Updated May 2026)
This page is being kept only as a redirect. All current content — the comparison of Android background-recording APIs, the foreground-service + wake-lock walkthrough, the comparison of apps that actually keep recording with the screen off, the battery numbers, and the install link — lives in the canonical version above.
Why a redirect?
Two near-identical articles were published 24 minutes apart on 2026-04-30. The newer one ("Updated May 2026") has been the actively maintained version. Splitting traffic between two pages dilutes search ranking, so this older copy now points to the canonical post.
