LocationUpdatesServiceSample

This is a demo app to get location updates constantly in background and if user enters in specific range of already specfied location then notify him like Geofencing.

Add below dependency in your app level build.gradle file

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.localbroadcastmanager:localbroadcastmanager:1.0.0'

Register Service in Manifest file

<!-- Required for foreground services on P+. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<service
            android:name=".LocationUpdatesService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true" />

Initialize Service in Activity class

 // A reference to the service used to get location updates.
 private var mService: LocationUpdatesService? = null;
 // Tracks the bound state of the service.
 private var mBound: Boolean = false
 
 // Monitors the state of the connection to the service.
    private var mServiceConnection: ServiceConnection = object : ServiceConnection {
        override fun onServiceConnected(name: ComponentName?, service: IBinder?) {
            val binder: LocationUpdatesService.LocalBinder = service as LocationUpdatesService.LocalBinder
            mService = binder.service
            mBound = true
            // Check that the user hasn't revoked permissions by going to Settings.

            mService?.requestLocationUpdates()

        }

        override fun onServiceDisconnected(name: ComponentName?) {
            mService = null
            mBound = false
        }
    }

    override fun onStart() {
        super.onStart()
        bindService(Intent(this, LocationUpdatesService::class.java), mServiceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE)
    }

    override fun onStop() {
        if (mBound) {
            // Unbind from the service. This signals to the service that this activity is no longer
            // in the foreground, and the service can respond by promoting itself to a foreground
            // service.
            unbindService(mServiceConnection)
            mBound = false
        }
        super.onStop()
    }

Check Location Permissions and GPS Settings

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

private val MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION = 68
private val REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS = 129

 if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this@MainActivity, arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION), MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION)
        } else {
            Log.e("MainActivity:","Location Permission Already Granted")
            if (getLocationMode() == 3) {
                Log.e("MainActivity:","Already set High Accuracy Mode")
                initializeService()
            } else {
                Log.e("MainActivity:","Alert Dialog Shown")
                showAlertDialog(this@MainActivity)
            }
        }
        
 override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
        when (requestCode) {
            MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION -> {
                if ((grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
                    Log.e("MainActivity:","Location Permission Granted")
                    if (getLocationMode() == 3) {

                        initializeService()
                    } else {
                        Log.e("MainActivity:","Alert Dialog Shown")
                        showAlertDialog(this@MainActivity)
                    }
                } else {
                    // permission denied, boo! Disable the
                    // functionality that depends on this permission.
                }
                return
            }
        }
    }

    private fun getLocationMode(): Int {
        return Settings.Secure.getInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE)
    }
    
    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS) {
