Thanks for replying. Your app has everything I need to work on my project. Will be great if you could help me out regarding this issue as I don't have that much knowledge regarding services.

I cloned your project into a new project, works till Android 9, Giving this error for Android 10.

When using MediaProjection target Android Q+, you must call MediaProjectionManager.getMediaProjection() in a forceground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION.

<service
            android:name=".YourMediaProjectionService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false"
            android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection" />

And don't forget the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
