App gets killed even if background monitoring enabled

Prerequisites

• [X ] Put an X between the brackets on this line if you have done all of the following:
  • My beacons have Estimote Monitoring enabled (Check it in the Estimote Cloud, or via app)
  • My Android device/devices supports BLE and has Android OS version >= 5.0.0
  • My Android device/devices have bluetooth enabled
  • My app has Location Permissions granted

Basic information

Estimote SDK version: proximity-sdk:1.0.3

Android devices affected: OnePlus 3T

Android OS version affected: Android Oreo 8.0.0

Beacon hardware version: mint

Description

I have built my proximity observer like below:
proximityObserver = ProximityObserverBuilder(context, cloudCredentials)
.withBalancedPowerMode()
.withEstimoteSecureMonitoringDisabled()
.withTelemetryReportingDisabled()
.withScannerInForegroundService(context.getBackgroundScanNotification())
.build()
I expect my app to keep looking for beacons forever but instead it gets killed after about 15 minutes.

** Steps to reproduce:**

1. Open the app, beacon ranging started with .withScannerInForegroundService(notification)
2. Press home button
3. After about 10-15 minutes the app is killed by the OS

Expected behavior: When using a foreground service, the app should not be killed
Actual behavior: The app is killed after about 15 minutes
