So, LineageOS 15.1 should be free of any of the vendor aggressive
battery management techniques so should be a good platform to test on.

My experience is that I need either "Background mode" or "Enable
service notification" enabled to get calls while the phone screen is
off.  Both seem to result in the same behaviour -- that push calls work
while the phone screen is off and it's sleeping.

But with neither enabled, calls won't ring the phone when Linphone is
not up and running on the screen.

Is that accurate?

If so, why are even one of those necessary?  I thought push was
supposed to allow an app to be completely killed (i.e. in the normal
course of Android resource management because resources are needed for
other apps, or even being killed by the user) and it will get started
back up when a "data" push is sent.

Additionally, if one of those is really necessary, is one of those
modes ("Background mode" and "Enable service notification") better than
the other for any reason?
