How can I run a service with regular location updates in android

Question

I'm using LocationListener in my service to get regular location updates. When I close the process, the service does not give any updates to me. What can I do?

Answer 1

you service as a START_STICKY.

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    // initialize location
    initLocation();
    Log.e("", "onStartCommand");
    return START_STICKY;
}

It will run in background after kill..and if there is any update of location you can get update.
