What is start in background permission?

Android 10 (API level 29) and higher place restrictions on when apps can start activities when the app is running in the background. These restrictions help minimize interruptions for the user and keep the user more in control of what’s shown on their screen.

What does start in background mean?

When you have an app running, but it’s not the focus on the screen it is considered to be running in the background. When you are done using your app and want to keep it in the background so you can enjoy features like KeepNear and Find My Phone, all you have to do is press the home button on your mobile device.
