Android background service issues

There are repeatedly reported issues with some android devices not working in the background. Check if your device model is on dontkillmyapp list before you report new issue. For more information check out dontkillmyapp.com.

Another confusing fact about Android services is concept of foreground services. Foreground service in context of Android OS is different thing than background geolocation service of this plugin (they're related thought). Plugin's background geolocation service actually becomes foreground service when app is in the background. Confusing, right? :D

If service wants to continue to run in the background, it must "promote" itself to foreground service. Foreground services must have visible notification, which is the reason, why you can't disable drawer notification.

The notification can only be disabled, when app is running in the foreground, by setting config option startForeground: false (this is the default option), but will always be visible in the background (if service was started).

Description

React Native fork of cordova-plugin-background-geolocation with battery-saving "circular region monitoring" and "stop detection".

This plugin can be used for geolocation when the app is running in the foreground or background.

You can choose from following location providers:

DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER
ACTIVITY_PROVIDER
RAW_PROVIDER

See Which provider should I use? for more information about providers.

Dependencies

Versions of libraries and sdk versions used to compile this plugin can be overriden in android/build.gradle with ext declaration.

When ext is not provided then following defaults will be used:

ext {
  compileSdkVersion = 28
  buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
  targetSdkVersion = 28
  minSdkVersion = 16
  supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
  googlePlayServicesVersion = "11+"
}

Compatibility

Due to the rapid changes being made in the React Native ecosystem, this module will support only the latest version of React Native. Older versions will only be supported if they're compatible with this module.

Module	React Native
0.1.0 - 0.2.0	0.33
>=0.3.0	>=0.47
>=0.6.0	>=0.60

If you are using an older version of React Native with this module some features may be buggy.

If you are using react-native-maps or another lib that requires Google Play Services such as Exponent.js, then in addition to the instalation steps described here, you must set Google Play Services library version to match the version used by those libraries. (in this case 9.8.0)

Add following to android/build.gradle

ext {
  googlePlayServicesVersion = "9.8.0"
}

Example Apps

The repository react-native-background-geolocation-example hosts an example app for both iOS and Android platform.

Quick example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Alert } from 'react-native';
import BackgroundGeolocation from '@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation';

class BgTracking extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
      desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.HIGH_ACCURACY,

      // Here we can decide whether we want stop the updates or not.
      // If you've configured the server to return 285, then it means the server does not require further update.
      // So the normal thing to do here would be to `BackgroundGeolocation.stop()`.
      // But you might be counting on it to receive location updates in the UI, so you could just reconfigure and set `url` to null.
    });

    BackgroundGeolocation.on('http_authorization', () => {
      console.log('[INFO] App needs to authorize the http requests');
    });

      if (!status.isRunning) {
        BackgroundGeolocation.start(); //triggers start on start event
      }
    });

    // you can also just start without checking for status
    // BackgroundGeolocation.start();
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    // unregister all event listeners
    BackgroundGeolocation.removeAllListeners();
  }
}

export default BgTracking;

Instalation

Installation

Add the package to your project

yarn add @mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation

Automatic setup

Since version 0.60 React Native does linking of modules automatically. However it does it only for single module. As plugin depends on additional 'common' module, it is required to link it with:

node ./node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/scripts/postlink.js

    ...
}

Register the module (in MainApplication.java)

import com.marianhello.bgloc.react.BackgroundGeolocationPackage;  // <--- Import Package

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  ...
  /**
   * A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
   * or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.
   */
  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new BackgroundGeolocationPackage() // <---- Add the Package
      );
  }
  ...
}

iOS setup

In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]

Partial reconfiguration is possible by later providing a subset of the configuration options:

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
  debug: true
});

In this case new configuration options will be merged with stored configuration options and changes will be applied immediately.

Important: Because configuration options are applied partially, it's not possible to reset option to default value just by omitting it's key name and calling configure method. To reset configuration option to the default value, it's key must be set to null!

// Example: reset postTemplate to default
BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
  postTemplate: null
});

getConfig(success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Get current configuration. Method will return all configuration options and their values in success callback. Because configure method can be called with subset of the configuration options only, getConfig method can be used to check the actual applied configuration.

BackgroundGeolocation.getConfig(function(config) {
  console.log(config);
});

start()

Platform: iOS, Android

Start background geolocation.

stop()

Platform: iOS, Android

Stop background geolocation.

getCurrentLocation(success, fail, options)

Platform: iOS, Android

One time location check to get current location of the device.

Option parameter	Type	Description
`timeout`	`Number`	Maximum time in milliseconds device will wait for location
`maximumAge`	`Number`	Maximum age in milliseconds of a possible cached location that is acceptable to return
`enableHighAccuracy`	`Boolean`	if true and if the device is able to provide a more accurate position, it will do so

Success callback parameter	Type	Description
`location`	`Object`	location object (@see Location event)

Error callback parameter	Type	Description
`code`	`Number`	Reason of an error occurring when using the geolocating device
`message`	`String`	Message describing the details of the error

Error codes:

Value	Associated constant	Description
1	PERMISSION_DENIED	Request failed due missing permissions
2	LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE	Internal source of location returned an internal error
3	TIMEOUT	Timeout defined by `option.timeout was exceeded

checkStatus(success, fail)

Check status of the service

Success callback parameter	Type	Description
`isRunning`	`Boolean`	true/false (true if service is running)
`locationServicesEnabled`	`Boolean`	true/false (true if location services are enabled)
`authorization`	`Number`	authorization status

Authorization statuses:

NOT_AUTHORIZED
AUTHORIZED - authorization to run in background and foreground
AUTHORIZED_FOREGROUND iOS only authorization to run in foreground only

Note: In the Android concept of authorization, these represent application permissions.

showAppSettings()

Platform: Android >= 6, iOS >= 8.0

Show app settings to allow change of app location permissions.

showLocationSettings()

Platform: Android

Show system settings to allow configuration of current location sources.

getLocations(success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Method will return all stored locations. This method is useful for initial rendering of user location on a map just after application launch.

Success callback parameter	Type	Description
`locations`	`Array`	collection of stored locations

BackgroundGeolocation.getLocations(
  function (locations) {
    console.log(locations);
  }
);

getValidLocations(success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Method will return locations which have not yet been posted to server.

Success callback parameter	Type	Description
`locations`	`Array`	collection of stored locations

deleteLocation(locationId, success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Delete location with locationId.

deleteAllLocations(success, fail)

Note: You don't need to delete all locations. The plugin manages the number of stored locations automatically and the total count never exceeds the number as defined by option.maxLocations.

Platform: iOS, Android

Delete all stored locations.

Note: Locations are not actually deleted from database to avoid gaps in locationId numbering. Instead locations are marked as deleted. Locations marked as deleted will not appear in output of BackgroundGeolocation.getValidLocations.

switchMode(modeId, success, fail)

Platform: iOS

Normally the plugin will handle switching between BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND mode itself. Calling switchMode you can override plugin behavior and force it to switch into other mode.

In FOREGROUND mode the plugin uses iOS local manager to receive locations and behavior is affected by option.desiredAccuracy and option.distanceFilter.

In BACKGROUND mode plugin uses significant changes and region monitoring to receive locations and uses option.stationaryRadius only.

// switch to FOREGROUND mode
BackgroundGeolocation.switchMode(BackgroundGeolocation.FOREGROUND_MODE);

// switch to BACKGROUND mode
BackgroundGeolocation.switchMode(BackgroundGeolocation.BACKGROUND_MODE);

forceSync()

Platform: Android, iOS

Force sync of pending locations. Option syncThreshold will be ignored and all pending locations will be immediately posted to syncUrl in single batch.

getLogEntries(limit, fromId, minLevel, success, fail)

Platform: Android, iOS

Return all logged events. Useful for plugin debugging.

Parameter	Type	Description
`limit`	`Number`	limits number of returned entries

`message`	`String`	log message
`stackTrace`	`String`	recorded stacktrace (Android only, on iOS part of message)

removeAllListeners(event)

Unregister all event listeners for given event. If parameter event is not provided then all event listeners will be removed.

Events

Name	Callback param	Platform	Provider*	Description
`location`	`Location`	all	all	on location update
`stationary`	`Location`	all	DIS,ACT	on device entered stationary mode
`activity`	`Activity`	Android	ACT	on activity detection
`error`	`{ code, message }`	all	all	on plugin error

`abort_requested`		all	all	server responded with "285 Updates Not Required"
`http_authorization`		all	all	server responded with "401 Unauthorized"

Location event

Location parameter	Type	Description
`id`	`Number`	ID of location as stored in DB (or null)
`provider`	`String`	gps, network, passive or fused
`locationProvider`	`Number`	location provider
`time`	`Number`	UTC time of this fix, in milliseconds since January 1, 1970.
`latitude`	`Number`	Latitude, in degrees.
`longitude`	`Number`	Longitude, in degrees.
`accuracy`	`Number`	Estimated accuracy of this location, in meters.
`speed`	`Number`	Speed if it is available, in meters/second over ground.
`altitude`	`Number`	Altitude if available, in meters above the WGS 84 reference ellipsoid.
`bearing`	`Number`	Bearing, in degrees.
`isFromMockProvider`	`Boolean`	(android only) True if location was recorded by mock provider
`mockLocationsEnabled`	`Boolean`	(android only) True if device has mock locations enabled

Locations parameters isFromMockProvider and mockLocationsEnabled are not posted to url or syncUrl by default. Both can be requested via option postTemplate.

Note: Do not use location id as unique key in your database as ids will be reused when option.maxLocations is reached.

Note: Android currently returns time as type of String (instead of Number) @see issue #9685

Activity event

Activity parameter	Type	Description
`confidence`	`Number`	Percentage indicating the likelihood user is performing this activity.
`type`	`String`	"IN_VEHICLE", "ON_BICYCLE", "ON_FOOT", "RUNNING", "STILL",
		"TILTING", "UNKNOWN", "WALKING"

Event listeners can registered with:

const eventSubscription = BackgroundGeolocation.on('event', callbackFn);

And unregistered:

eventSubscription.remove();

Note: Components should unregister all event listeners in componentWillUnmount method, individually, or with removeAllListeners

HTTP locations posting

All locations updates are recorded in the local db at all times. When the App is in foreground or background, in addition to storing location in local db, the location callback function is triggered. The number of locations stored in db is limited by option.maxLocations and never exceeds this number. Instead, old locations are replaced by new ones.

When option.url is defined, each location is also immediately posted to url defined by option.url. If the post is successful, the location is marked as deleted in local db.

When option.syncUrl is defined, all locations that fail to post will be coalesced and sent in some time later in a single batch. Batch sync takes place only when the number of failed-to-post locations reaches option.syncTreshold. Locations are sent only in single batch when the number of locations reaches option.syncTreshold. (No individual locations will be sent)

The request body of posted locations is always an array, even when only one location is sent.

Warning: option.maxLocations has to be larger than option.syncThreshold. It's recommended to be 2x larger. In any other case the location syncing might not work properly.

Custom post template

With option.postTemplate it is possible to specify which location properties should be posted to option.url or option.syncUrl. This can be useful to reduce the number of bytes sent "over the "wire".

All wanted location properties have to be prefixed with @. For all available properties check Location event.

Two forms are supported:

jsonObject

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
  postTemplate: {
    lat: '@latitude',
    lon: '@longitude',
    foo: 'bar' // you can also add your own properties
  }
});

jsonArray

BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
  postTemplate: ['@latitude', '@longitude', 'foo', 'bar']
});

Note: Keep in mind that all locations (even a single one) will be sent as an array of object(s), when postTemplate is jsonObject and array of array(s) for jsonArray!

Android Headless Task (Experimental)

A special task that gets executed when the app is terminated, but the plugin was configured to continue running in the background (option stopOnTerminate: false). In this scenario the Activity was killed by the system and all registered event listeners will not be triggered until the app is relaunched.

Note: Prefer configuration options url and syncUrl over headless task. Use it sparingly!

Task event

Parameter	Type	Description
`event.name`	`String`	Name of the event [ "location", "stationary", "activity" ]
`event.params`	`Object`	Event parameters. @see Events

Keep in mind that the callback function lives in an isolated scope. Variables from a higher scope cannot be referenced!

Following example requires CORS enabled backend server.

Warning: callback function must by async!

BackgroundGeolocation.headlessTask(async (event) => {
    if (event.name === 'location' ||
      event.name === 'stationary') {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open('POST', 'http://192.168.81.14:3000/headless');
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        xhr.send(JSON.stringify(event.params));
    }
});

Important:

After application is launched again (main activity becomes visible), it is important to call start method to rebind all event listeners.

BackgroundGeolocation.checkStatus(({ isRunning }) => {
  if (isRunning) {
    BackgroundGeolocation.start(); // service was running -> rebind all listeners
  }
});

Transforming/filtering locations in native code

In some cases you might want to modify a location before posting, reject a location, or any other logic around incoming locations - in native code. There's an option of doing so with a headless task, but you may want to preserve battery, or do more complex actions that are not available in React.

In those cases you could register a location transform.

Android example:

When the Application is initialized (which also happens before services gets started in the background), write some code like this:

BackgroundGeolocationFacade.setLocationTransform(new LocationTransform() {
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public BackgroundLocation transformLocationBeforeCommit(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull BackgroundLocation location) {
    // `context` is available too if there's a need to use a value from preferences etc.

    // Modify the location
    location.setLatitude(location.getLatitude() + 0.018);

    // Return modified location
    return location;

    // You could return null to reject the location,
    // or if you did something else with the location and the library should not post or save it.
    }
});

iOS example:

In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions delegate method, write some code like this:

BackgroundGeolocationFacade.locationTransform = ^(MAURLocation * location) {
  // Modify the location
  location.latitude = @(location.latitude.doubleValue + 0.018);
  
  // Return modified location
  return location;
  
  // You could return null to reject the location,
  // or if you did something else with the location and the library should not post or save it.
};

Advanced plugin configuration

Change Account Service Name (Android)

Add string resource "account_name" into "android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml"

<string name="account_name">Sync Locations</string>

Example of backend server

Background-geolocation-server is a backend server written in nodejs with CORS - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing support. There are instructions how to run it and simulate locations on Android, iOS Simulator and Genymotion.

Debugging

Submit crash log

TODO

Debugging sounds

Event	ios	android
Exit stationary region	Calendar event notification sound	dialtone beep-beep-beep
Geolocation recorded	SMS sent sound	tt short beep
Aggressive geolocation engaged	SIRI listening sound
Passive geolocation engaged	SIRI stop listening sound
Acquiring stationary location sound	"tick,tick,tick" sound
Stationary location acquired sound	"bloom" sound	long tt beep

NOTE: For iOS in addition, you must manually enable the Audio and Airplay background mode in Background Capabilities to hear these debugging sounds.

Geofencing

Try using react-native-boundary. Let's keep this plugin lightweight as much as possible.
