I use a started service with the fused api, and implement the location listener directly on it. The Location keeps updating even when the screen is locked, But it stops if the screen goes off.
So, is there any way to make sure that the location will keep updating when the screen is off?
I read a lot of other questions and I don't really know what i'm missing.
