I invite you to understand the source code, test it, and to read the other threads before asking questions. You will see that @ormesam points to a workaround for some devices that block the background service in Android.

On Android, if you want to receive location updates while the app is minimised and/or screen locked you need a foreground service (with the type set to Location or some phones will kill the it).
