Success callback not called if location hasn't changed

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 2.2.0-alpha.6
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 5.1.1
• Device manufacturer and model: Huawei P7
• Cordova version (cordova -v): 6.1.1
• Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls): android 5.1.1
• Plugin configuration options:
  • desiredAccuracy: 10,
  • stationaryRadius: 0,
  • debug: true,
  • distanceFilter: 0,
  • startOnBoot: true,
  • interval: 10000,
  • locationProvider: backgroundGeolocation.provider.ANDROID_ACTIVITY_PROVIDER,
  • fastestInterval: 5000,
  • activitiesInterval: 5000,
  • stopOnStillActivity: false,
  • maxLocations: 0

Context

I’m using the plugin on an Ionic v1.3.1 project, without Ionic Native or any other wrapper.

Expected Behavior

Every 10 seconds or so the current location should be obtained and the success callback should be called, even if the device hasn’t moved.

Actual Behavior

Because of the debug sounds and the Toast message I can tell the location is being obtained every 10 seconds, but the success callback is not getting called unless there is a change on the location values.

Possible Fix

When distanceFilter is zero or undefined the success callback should be called even if there hasn’t been a change on the location.

Context

I want to use the success callback not only to update the user location on a remote web service, but also to update the last date (and time) in which the app worked.

Hi Got the same problem, @guillermo-varela @mauron85 - interval set to 30 seconds, but the callback function is getting called every two minutes, and sometimes not at all.
