Geofences sample does not work all the time, and it is hard to understand #197

I tried the Geofence sample as it is on a API 27 Pixel simulator. Faking location sometimes triggers the notifications and sometimes it does not. Nice.

Even worse, I copied the code in an empty project, except for GeofenceErrorMessages, and I removed the notification part in GeofenceTransitionsJobIntentService (I just log when a transition event is received by the service).

I added 

<receiver
            android:name=".GeofenceBroadcastReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true" />

        <service
            android:name=".GeofenceTransitionsJobIntentService"
            android:exported="true"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" />

to the manifest.

I added permission tag to the manifest. I tested that adding the geofences is successful.

Tested this "new" app on the same simulator, and it does not log any transition event, ever. Is there some other configuration I am missing?

@mvolpato Have you tried using a physical device? I was having similar issues on the simulator, but they all seemed to disappear on an actual device.
