Only use passive updates when in background

I found that both Passive and Active updates were being done when the app was
in the foreground. I had changed the accuracy to COARSE
My solution was to disable the updates for the passive listener in onCreate()
and only enable in onPause() when not exiting the app:
in onCreate
Intent passiveIntent = new Intent(this, PassiveLocationChangedReceiver.class);
locationListenerPassivePendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, passiveIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListenerPassivePendingIntent);
in disableLocationUpdates
if (AppConstants.DISABLE_PASSIVE_LOCATION_WHEN_USER_EXIT && isFinishing())
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListenerPassivePendingIntent);
else
locationUpdateRequester.requestPassiveLocationUpdates(AppConstants.PASSIVE_MAX_TIME, AppConstants.PASSIVE_MAX_DISTANCE, locationListenerPassivePendingIntent);
Great article and excellent code. Thanks for this!
