Android 11 changes when foreground services can access the device's location, camera, and microphone. This helps protect sensitive user data.

Camera and microphone foreground service types
:   If your app targets Android 11 or higher and accesses the camera or microphone in a foreground service, you must include the`camera`and`microphone`[foreground service types](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services#types).

Restrictions to access while in use
:   If your app[starts a foreground service while running in the background](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services#while-in-use-restrictions), the foreground service cannot access the microphone or camera. Additionally, the service cannot access location unless your app has[background location](https://developer.android.com/training/location/permissions#background)access.
