flutter-background-location-tracker service not working when screen is OFF for long run #44

Hi, I'm using this plugin for track user's location in background. This works perfectly when screen is ON even app killed (removed from recent apps). But this stops working after couple of minutes when screen is OFF. i noticed after 10 minutes this stops working.

can you help me to solve this issue ?

Hi, what OS are you experiencing this on? On Android there is a battery saving system that shuts apps down in the background to increase the battery life. You can disable this behavior for your app by asking for the battery saving permission. See this plugin for more info.

Is there a notification shown that the app is running in the background?

Thank you. Issue solved by disabling battery optimisation.

Hi for me unfortunately this solution is not working , OS android 12 , phone Samsung S10 , the background tracking works perfectly when the phone screen is not off and when I lock the screen the app works in background for only 2 mins and then I don’t receive any location updates . I tried to make the battery optimisation as unrestricted but still no luck

@harivyas07 did you ask for the always permission? On Android you have to first ask for location permission and then the location always permission.

@ikbendewilliam Anything you can help me with as the background functionality is not working when the phone screen is off ( stops working after 2 mins )

@harivyas07 I don't immediately know. If you have permissions for battery saver and location always it should work fine in the background. Some things you can try:
