    In my experience when people ask questions like this they are just given links to official doc, or some post or something along those lines and the actual problem is not addressed. I might have missed something simple and there might be a simple solution(maybe my BroadcastReceiver should have true as value for exported attribute in AndroidManifest or something along those lines), but I could not manage to find it: 1) couple of youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmAtMqljH9M, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VUZKMWV5lc 2) official codelabs/samples: https://github.com/android/location-samples/blob/main/Geofencing/app/src/main/java/com/google/android/gms/location/sample/geofencing/MainActivity.java https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/while-in-use-location#6 3) other samples/libraries: https://github.com/joostfunkekupper/background-location-sample-ktx https://github.com/exozet/Geolocator https://github.com/snigavig/little-fluffy-location-library/tree/master/little-fluffy-location-library/LittleFluffyLocationLibrary https://github.com/ddasutein/GeofenceAppOSS
