• It improves the battery life also by not sacrificing the important notifications.
• Doze mode becomes active when the device is idle and the screen is turned off.

• Sync Jobs
• Wake Locks

When are the tasks resumed

• The tasks are batched up and executed in periodic intervals of time.
• This conserves the device's battery.
