Sounds right, this isn't a dynamic property and should be applied when the service starts... Why would you need to change it?

But the service restarts once I update the config. I also tried to stop and restart the geolocation, but it produces the same problem.

I need to change it because I only need the Foreground tracking if a specific progress is running other than that the tracking is only important when the app is in focus. So a Foreground message is not necessary.

Update: Okay now I realize that all of these functions are promise based if I don't add any handler to them. Good to know. This solved all of my problems and I can even cleanup my code.
