Sample project for background location acquisition on Android 10 and above

It is better to get location information with the foreground service

If the app wants to get location information in the background from Android 10, it needs permission of ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION.

However, when handling location information in the foreground service, it is possible to acquire location information without requiring permission for ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION. In that case, you need to specify location in [foregroundServiceType] (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr#foregroundServiceType) of the foreground service.

• Use PendingIntent & BroadcastReceiver

From Android 10, the item "Allow only while using the app" has been added to the selection items on the app settings screen.

If "Allow only while using the app" is checked, location information in the background will not be performed.
