无法从PendingIntent触发地理围栏过渡IntentService

Question

I want to dynamically update the list of geofences according to current location of user even when app is not in background. So I am calling GeofencingApi.addGeofences from a service instead of activity.

public void addGeofences()
{

    if (!mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
        Log.v("TAG", getString(R.string.not_connected));
        return;
    }

    try {
        LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(
                mGoogleApiClient,
                getGeofencingRequest(),
                getGeofencePendingIntent(this)
        ).setResultCallback(this); // Result processed in onResult().
    } catch (SecurityException securityException) {
        logSecurityException(securityException);
    }
}

Code to get PendingIntent:

private PendingIntent getGeofencePendingIntent(Context c) {
    if (mGeofencePendingIntent != null) {
        return mGeofencePendingIntent;
    }
    Intent intent = new Intent(GeofenceService.this, GeofenceTransitionsIntentService.class);
    return PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}

Code to get GeofencingRequest:

private  GeofencingRequest getGeofencingRequest() {
    GeofencingRequest.Builder builder = new GeofencingRequest.Builder();
    builder.setInitialTrigger(GeofencingRequest.INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER);
    builder.addGeofences(mGeofenceList);
    return builder.build();
}

It does not trigger GeofenceTransitionsIntentService when user enters or exits a geofence. It works very fine when implemented in activity but it does not work from service.

Note: These functions are defined and called in a service which is dynamically changing mGeofenceList according to current location of user.

Following the example: https://developer.android.com/training/location/geofencing.html with code: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location/tree/master/Geofencing

Use:

 mGoogleApiClient.blockingConnect(TIME_OUT, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

And add/change the code as following:

public class RegisterGeoIntentService extends IntentService implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, ResultCallback<Status> {

protected static final String TAG = "RegisterGeoIS";

private static final long TIME_OUT = 100;
protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
protected ArrayList<Geofence> mGeofenceList;
private PendingIntent mGeofencePendingIntent;

public RegisterGeoIntentService() {
    super(TAG);
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Log.i(TAG, "Creating Intent service");
    mGeofenceList = new ArrayList<Geofence>();
    mGeofencePendingIntent = null;
}

@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
    buildGoogleApiClient();
    populateGeofenceList();
    mGoogleApiClient.blockingConnect(TIME_OUT, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    String connected = mGoogleApiClient.isConnected() ? "connected" : "disconnected";
    Log.i(TAG, "Restoring geofence - status: " + connected);
    addGeofencesButtonHandler();
}

...

public void addGeofencesButtonHandler() {
    if (!mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
        Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.not_connected), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return;
    }

    try {
        LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(
                mGoogleApiClient,
                // The GeofenceRequest object.
                getGeofencingRequest(),
                // A pending intent that that is reused when calling removeGeofences(). This
                // pending intent is used to generate an intent when a matched geofence
                // transition is observed.
                getGeofencePendingIntent()
        ).await(TIME_OUT, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    } catch (SecurityException securityException) {
        // Catch exception generated if the app does not use ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
        logSecurityException(securityException);
    }
    Log.i(TAG, "Trying to add Geofences - result: " + result.toString());
}

...

Add the following in AndroidManifest:

    <service android:name=".RegisterGeoIntentService" />

Call it with:

    Intent kickoff = new Intent(context, RegisterGeoIntentService.class);
    context.startService(kickoff);
