I want to get current location in background every 15 mins. I have created a background service with Timer. But it stops at some point of time.
Please correct me, how to run this all time in background without stopping?
public class BackgroundService extends Service implements LocationListener {
public static String str_receiver = "app.BackgroundService.Locationreceiver";
boolean isGPSEnable = false;
boolean isNetworkEnable = false;
double latitude, longitude;
LocationManager locationManager;
Location location;
long notify_interval = 600000;
Intent intent;
private Handler mHandler = new Handler();
private Timer mTimer = null;
public BackgroundService() {
}
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(BackgroundService.this, "Getting Location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mTimer = new Timer();
mTimer.schedule(new TimerTaskToGetLocation(), 60000, notify_interval);
intent = new Intent(str_receiver);
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
private void fn_getlocation() {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
isGPSEnable = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
isNetworkEnable = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnable && !isNetworkEnable) {
Toast.makeText(BackgroundService.this, "GPS disabled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
if (isNetworkEnable) {
location = null;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling

return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 1000000, 20, this);
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
Log.e("latitude", location.getLatitude() + "");
Log.e("longitude >>", location.getLongitude() + "");
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
fn_update(location);
}

return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000000, 20, this);
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
Log.e("latitude>>", location.getLatitude() + "");

}
}
}
}
}
private void fn_update(Location location) {
intent.putExtra("latutide", location.getLatitude() + "");
