  stationaryRadius: 15, // <-- Default: 25. When stopped, the minimum distance the device must move beyond the stationary location for aggressive background-tracking to engage.
  distanceFilter: 10, // <-- The minimum distance (measured in meters) a device must move horizontally before an update event is generated.
  title: "App is Running in Background.",
  text: "",
  debug: false,
  startOnBoot: false, // <-- Auto start tracking when device is powered-up.
  stopOnTerminate: false, // <-- Allow the background-service to continue tracking when user closes the app.

I cannot reproduce this.

Either you are:

1. calling .start() before calling .ready(config)
2. Configuring the plugin with reset: false
3. Some other plugin is requesting Motion permission.

If the plugin is configured with disableMotionActivityUpdates: false (ie: do NOT disable), you will see this in the logs:

07-12 11:47:33.004 11961 12103 D TSLocationManager:   🎾  Start monitoring connectivity changes

(Mistake above)

If the plugin is configured with disableMotionActivityUpdates: false (ie: do NOT disable), you will see this in the logs:

07-12 11:54:23.386 13693 13823 I TSLocationManager: 🎾 Start motion-activity updates

@christocracy 2. Configuring the plugin with reset: false It works. Thank you. Can be closed

[christocracy]

Why were you hiding that Config and not showing it here?

[DzianisAleshkou]

@christocracy Actually 2. Configuring the plugin with reset: false didn't help. Modal appears ifdisableMotionActivityUpdates: true and reset: false. my config this from my app permissions. How can I remove "Physical Activity" permission from app. I do not use another location service.

[christocracy]

I don't think you understand what reset: false is. 99% of users should not use reset: false. It causes the plugin to IGNORE the Config provided to ready(config).

[DzianisAleshkou]

@christocracy when I do not use 'reset: false' modal with 'physical activity' permission appears if disableMotionActivityUpdates is true

[DzianisAleshkou]

@christocracy How can I remove 'Physical Activity' permission on native level?

[christocracy]

I have no idea what you're doing wrong, but you're doing something wrong.

Create for me a simple HelloWorld that reproduces this. Share your simple HelloWorld in a public github repo here.

[christocracy]

Do NOT use reset: false.

[DzianisAleshkou]

Why does "Physical Activity" permission display in permissions settings?

[christocracy]

Because that permission is included in the plugin's own AndroidManifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

[DzianisAleshkou]

Can I see it in node_modules?

[christocracy]

no.

[DzianisAleshkou]

but if app does not use it, why is it important setting?

[christocracy]

If your issue is the Physical Activity permission is being requested in spite of disableMotionActivityUpdates: true, you're doing something wrong.

Create for me a simple HelloWorld app which reproduces the problem.
