This project is no longer actively maintained. If you are interested in becoming a maintainer, please open an issue or contact me directly !

To Reproduce

Check the github repo.

Their are already a big number of open issues.

Expected behavior

Evaluate other packages for background location.

Actual behavior

I got problems when using the mobility_feature package. For the first run it works well, but if the background location service already running it will not receive new features due problems with the background location service.

As a workaround I change the carp_background_location.LocationManager.start method for me:

  Future<bool> start() async {
    if (await isRunning) {
      await stop();
    }

    await BackgroundLocator.initialize();

    await BackgroundLocator.registerLocationUpdate(
      LocationCallbackHandler.callback,
      initCallback: LocationCallbackHandler.initCallback,
      disposeCallback: LocationCallbackHandler.disposeCallback,
      autoStop: false,
      androidSettings: AndroidSettings(
          accuracy: _accuracy,
          interval: _interval,
          distanceFilter: _distanceFilter,
          androidNotificationSettings: AndroidNotificationSettings(
            notificationChannelName: _channelName,
            notificationTitle: _notificationTitle,
            notificationMsg: _notificationMsg,
            notificationBigMsg: _notificationBigMsg,
          )),
      iosSettings: IOSSettings(
        accuracy: _accuracy,
        distanceFilter: _distanceFilter,
      ),
    );

    return await isRunning;
  }

If its already running I call stop and restart it. Not sure if this is a good way, but it works :-)
