BackgroundLocation.getLocationUpdates when phone is locked

[jaca420]

My app writes to Firestore when location changes. I was testing it with app open and everything is ok. But when I lock my phone and leave the app open, I still see the notification "Background service is running" but nothing is written to the database.
Does this not work with phone locked?

      await BackgroundLocation.startLocationService(distanceFilter: 30);

      BackgroundLocation.getLocationUpdates((location) {
        setState(() {
          latitude = location.latitude.toString();
          longitude = location.longitude.toString();
          accuracy = location.accuracy.toString();
          altitude = location.altitude.toString();
          bearing = location.bearing.toString();
          speed = location.speed.toString();
        });

        processLocation(location);
      });

processLocation is just creating the database object and setting it.

if you put a print statement in or after the setState call, do you get it printing output? i.e. is it just the database part not working? or are you not getting any background location updates at all?

fixed in 52ef3db version 0.12.0

@Almoullim is this related to notification importance? the original PR said "I still see the notification "Background service is running"", which made me think it was more likely related to firestore

@MoralCode if it's not fixed as part of the notifcation importance then it would be related to one of these two issues: #139 #131 either way this issue is old and I doubt we'd hear back from the issue author to know more details so its best to close and focus on the other two. Please let me know if you think otherwise, maybe I'm missing something.
