It should continue work in the background, even if i turned off the screen, until i stops background tracking.

Many others are having the same problem as well. This really sucks.

Try to put you app in "Protected Mode" for Huawei Devices, or as "Not Optimized" in other manufacturers. This says to Android not to close your App when then screen shuts down.

Have you tried any other provider than DISTANCE_FILTER? Try new RAW_PROVIDER, so we can isolate it to specific provider or plugin issue.
