Does the app still track location when moving to background? #10

Hi, thanks for the great sample!

I ran the app to test if you still get updates when the app moves to the background on Android. I put breakpoints to test, and it seems it does not update in the background.

I noticed the service is started as a foreground service, so it should theoretically work. Is this a known limitation, or can something be modified to enable background updates?

Thanks again!
