@yasirahmedkhan

You can use this method:

https://github.com/BirjuVachhani/locus-android/blob/b6c483d6ccf0f624a33f080d2d4519620780a74a/locus/src/main/java/com/birjuvachhani/locus/Locus.kt#L170

Please keep in mind that this only works with LifecycleService. So your service must extend it.

Thanks dear It is working now, but now another problem is coming when my app goes in background location updates stop working. What can be the possible issue ?

BirjuVachhani commented 3 years ago

@yasirahmedkhan You need to request background location permission I think.

Do this before starting location updates:

Locus.configure {
    enableBackgroundUpdates = true
}
