  • App running in background but not showing as active.

I downloaded the mastodon app from github.
I closed the app and removed it from ram.
When you pull down the notification bar, you can see the active apps, but mastodon was not listed. Still I get notification from the app whenever someone replies to me.
So it is active right? Why is the app not showing as active, and I did not give permission to run in background.

    Do you have Google Play Services installed at all?
    If so then it doesn't matter where you get the app from as long as it has the functionality to communicate with Google Play Services there's a good chance it will do so.
