Context

I'm testing the code on the README with Android Emulator.

Expected Behavior

It should update locations when the app goes into the background.

Actual Behavior

I can see following outputs in the Logcat when I put my app into the background.

D/com.tenforwardconsulting.bgloc.DistanceFilterLocationProvider: Location change: Location[gps 33.340862,132.278377 hAcc=5 et=+18783d11h13m43s367ms etAcc=+1ms alt=0.0 vel=0.0 bear=0.0 vAcc=1 sAcc=1 bAcc=30 {Bundle[mParcelledData.dataSize=96]}] isMoving=false

D/com.marianhello.bgloc.BackgroundGeolocationFacade: Received MSG_ON_STATIONARY

However, after this, I don't see any updates even if I change the location by Emurator's Extended control.

Possible Fix

I assume that the location update is not fired because the device's accelerometer metrics remain the same. But it is the limitation by the Emulator. Is there any way to test without a physical android device?

If you're using android studio you can emulate location
