I believe what you need is the JobIntentService. This class replaces the IntentService for API 26+. To make it compatible with API 25- you need to add the WAKE_LOCK permission in the manifest.

Here's the documentation:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/JobIntentService

There's plenty of tutorials online on how to use it.

If you don't mind do you have an example code or some thing like that for that work instead documentation.
It will be a big help.

I wrote a tutorial that demonstrates how I use a JobIntentService with fully working example project and code here:

Now here's the thing, there are different ways to use this service, so the example a linked above may not be what you're looking for. If not do a google search for "how to use jobintentservice" and plenty of tutorials will come up.
