6 years ago It's a bad idea to use time-based tracking. It consumes more battery. By default, the plugin is distance-based (ie: distanceFilter). The plugin will record a location every time the device moves distanceFilter meters.

4 years ago I am having the same problem. Here is my BackgroundGeolocation configuration:
BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
enableHeadless: true,
desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
distanceFilter: 50,
stopTimeout: 1,
debug: false,
logLevel: BackgroundGeolocation.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
stopOnTerminate: false,
startOnBoot: true,
}I am getting location events constantly (even when device is still), which look like that:
[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] -', 'location', { extras: {},
│ activity: { confidence: 100, type: 'still' },
│ odometer: 0,
│ battery: { level: 1, is_charging: true },
│ timestamp: '2020-07-08T12:14:10.598Z',
│ coords:
│ { altitude: 860.1,
│ heading: 280.08,
│ speed: 1.03,
│ accuracy: 34.3,
│ longitude: <my longitude>,
│ latitude: <my latitude> },
│ uuid: '80016919-8087-4891-904a-747ca350b975',
└ is_moving: false }Am I supposed to configure my ' BackgroundGeolocation.registerHeadlessTask(HeadlessTask) ' specificaly or does it have the same configuration settings as BackgroundGeolocation.ready()? If yes, how should I do it?
Thanks!
Edit:
The same thing happens also when I changed the configuration to:
distanceFilter: 0,
locationUpdateInterval:1000*30,
deferTime: 1000 * 30,I still get bombarded by a lot of locations events at once when I am terminating the app.

Yes it has the same config.
Are you observing the plugin logs in adb logcat? See Wiki Debugging.

Here is some of my adb logacat (it just get repeated endlessly after that):

4 years ago You are likely “shooting yourself in the foot” in your Headless-task, by calling getCurrentPosition.
Show me your headless-task code.

commented
4 years ago let HeadlessTask = async (event) => {
let params = event.params;
console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] -', event.name, params);
let location = await getCurrentPosition();
await console.log('location is : ')
await console.log(location);
switch (event.name) {
case 'heartbeat':
console.log('heartbeat');
// Use await for async tasks
getGeoFireLocations(location.coords.latitude,location.coords.longitude)
console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] - getCurrentPosition:', location);
break;
case 'motionchange':
console.log('motionchange');
// Use await for async tasks
let location1 = await getCurrentPosition();
getGeoFireLocations(location1.coords.latitude,location1.coords.longitude)
console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] - getCurrentPosition:', location);
break;
case 'location':
console.log('location');
// Use await for async tasks
getGeoFireLocations(location.coords.latitude,location.coords.longitude)
console.log('[BackgroundGeolocation HeadlessTask] - getCurrentPosition:', location);
break;
}
}BTW, 'heartbeat' is never called (tried using heartbeat alone before adding getCurrentPosition). getGeoFireLocations() calles a geoFire function (which execure a geoQuery function) if this info helps in any way..
christocracy
commented
4 years ago Yes, you are "shooting yourself in the foot". You have to be aware that calling getCurrentPosition generates a headless location event. You have created an infinite loop.
getCurrentPosition within one of your switch casecase 'location' must NEVER cause the plugin to generate a location event.BTW, 'heartbeat' is never called
Yes, because you've not configured a heartbeatInterval:
heartbeatInterval": -1,Thank you very much, appreciate this, it all works well now.
Regards the heartbeat, it too works well. I thought that the default value is 60 so I didn't write anything in .ready() .
| heartbeatInterval | Integer | Default: 60. Rate in seconds to fire BackgroundGeolocation.onHeartbeat events. |
|---|

4 years ago Docs are wrong.
I am getting location frequently in headless task.How to get location after specific interval of time?
