background mode with geolocation plugin

Hi, I was trying to activate the geolocation to the user location after X minutes, but when I locked the phone or put the app on the background it only get the position twice, then it stops working. I already use disableweboptimization and disablebatteryoptimization.

 this.backgroundMode.enable();
      this.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
      console.log('BACKGROUND');
      console.log(this.backgroundMode.isEnabled());
      this.backgroundMode.on('activate').subscribe(r => {
        this.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations();
        this.backgroundMode.disableBatteryOptimizations();
        // console.log('ONACTIVATE');
        // console.log('STATUS BACKLOCATION');
        this.intervalId = interval(10000);
        this.intervalSub = this.intervalId.subscribe(() => {
          // console.log('PRUEBA PRUEBA');
          this.backgroundMode.wakeUp();
          this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition().then(r => {
            // console.log('UBICACIONI');
            console.log(r.coords.latitude);

And when I unlock the app it resumes the geolocation for the times I was getting the location.

I have a solution, in android 9 or lower the gps works in background mode, but in android 10 it does not, what you should do is go to settings-app & notifications-you select your app, select permissions, select location, 3 options will appear by default this is the one Option of allow only while using the app, you must select allow all time and once your application is done, the gps will work with background mode, in the documentation it is indicated that the previous steps must be indicated to the user

hope it helps, please test on two different devices with android 10, test nokia 4.2, huawei p30 ligth

hello @i-metlyuk

I did a background demo with gps and local notification, I add the url of the repository, do the test and tell me if it works for you, in case it works for you we will review your code again, I hope it will be of help to you and others, I’m waiting to see if it works for you: D

If you like the solution give me a like and a star in the repository

If you have android 10 or higher remember to enable allow all the time in settings that is for the gps to work in the background
