Cannot get it to work in Android Oreo in background #232

You write that I should just hook it up with a BroadcastReceiver to the intent action stored in the GeofencingGooglePlayServicesProvider.BROADCAST_INTENT_ACTION constant. Could you elaborate on that, or better yet, provide an example?

It won't work when app goes in background because of Oreos restrictions. I think it will work if you trigger a foreground service and start the location updates from this library.
