Half help me understand how to get Location updates in background
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
