Ability to pause tracking

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to be able to pause, then restart tracking, on the same track.

Ditto this. For example when entering into a store one would want to pause and 
then resume afterwards. I also casually map when I'm travelling and oftentimes 
it would be convenient to be able to pause.

Since revision #270 adds the possibility to resume any track from the 
TrackManager, it is possible to stop the track and resume tracking at any time.

I just tested it and when resuming track when there is already an active track 
the trackpoints are still tracked with the previous track id (However the way 
points are correctly recorded for the resumed track).

This can be seen using the DDMS log, for example:
* Create a new track (id 43)
* Record some location (trackpoints)
* Back to track logger, and resume an old track (id 40), while the id 43 is 
still active. Click "start tracking" in the menu
* You get the following log when recording a location:

01-03 14:55:50.696: VERBOSE/DataHelper(718): Tracking (trackId=43) location: 
Location[mProvider=...]
01-03 14:55:50.716: VERBOSE/TrackContentProvider(718): insert(), 
uri=content://me.guillaumin.android.osmtracker.provider/track/43/trackpoints, 
values=[...] track_id=43

* And the following log when tagging a waypoint:

01-03 14:55:56.816: VERBOSE/GPSLogger(718): Received intent 
me.guillaumin.android.osmtracker.intent.TRACK_WP
01-03 14:55:56.826: VERBOSE/DataHelper(718): Tracking waypoint 'Attraction', 
track=40, [...]
01-03 14:55:56.856: VERBOSE/TrackContentProvider(718): insert(), 
uri=content://me.guillaumin.android.osmtracker.provider/track/40/waypoints, 
values=[...] track_id=40

Nicolas,

thanks, i didn't realize this.
In r274, a "STOP_TRACKING" broadcast is sent when a new active track is set, to 
be sure GPSLogger stops a recording of another track that could be active at 
this moment.

best regards
Matthias
