Continuous Location updates not received when moved out of stationary position

Your Environment

Plugin version: 4.10.0
Platform: iOS or Android: Android
OS version: Android 11
Device manufacturer / model: Android Emulator
React Native version (react-native -v): 0.71.4

  autoSync: true
}

Expected Behavior

Should start sending continuous location updates, when moved a sufficient distance from last stationary point.

Actual Behavior

The react-native application does not automatically start tracking when previously it was in a stationary state for more then 40 minutes. I tried with different distances, ranging from 200 to 2000 meters when trying to resume the tracking from the stationary state. But still, only the first location update is received in the case of Android. Instead, it should start tracking and sending location updates thereafter.

Also, would like to ask one question. Since tried to find all docs but couldn't find them. 1. Suppose, if I don't want to give physical activity permission, then how does the SDK detects that the device is in motion after being in a stationary state irrespective of the time?

Steps to Reproduce

Initialise the plugin
Call the SDK Start Tracking method.
Perform 1-2 random locations updates
Stop moving and be in this state for at least 30-40 mins
Start moving again.
Only one location update is received

Context

Testing when app is in stationary position for 30-40 mins and resuming the tracking

Device manufacturer / model: Android Emulator

Geofences don’t work in the Emulator. The plug-in cannot automatically trigger location-tracking in the Emulator, only in a real device with real movement.

FYI, am using the built-in Android emulator journey spoofer. So, as per what you are saying if your sdk detects a device in motion when I use startTracking(), then traveling a sufficient amount of distance post being in the stationary state should also trigger right ??

Also, can you please answer the below question? Since it can be a use case where users don't allow this permission. In the case of iOS its clear, but Android its being unclear

Suppose, if I don't want to give physical activity permission, then how does the SDK detect that the device is in motion after being in a stationary state irrespective of the time?
