@mauron85 Yes, I am also getting this issue especially on Android.

I am using the below listener to get location. But mostly I don't get any location and neither it throws any error. But if I check the status it shows as Running. ( BackgroundGeolocation.on('error', (error) => {
console.log('[ERROR] BackgroundGeolocation error:', error);
});
)

BackgroundGeolocation.on('location', (location) => {
}
BackgroundGeolocation.on('stationary', (stationaryLocation) => {
});

@hasanal1995
after upgrading I restarted android powered device and now its working for me.
Restarting device is not a better way though.

[hasanal1995]

sorry, clarify how to fix it plz?
in details @Dhanraj-bidchat

[Dhanraj-bidchat]

use this method and check if status is running:

1. BackgroundGeolocation.checkStatus(status => {
   console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation service is running', status.isRunning);
   console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation services enabled', status.locationServicesEnabled);
   console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation auth status: ' + status.authorization);

  // you don't need to check status before start (this is just the example)
  if (!status.isRunning) {
    BackgroundGeolocation.start(); //triggers start on start event
  }
});

1. if status is running then, you will get output in one of this methods:
   -> BackgroundGeolocation.on('stationary', (stationaryLocation) => {
   // handle stationary locations here
   console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation service is running', stationaryLocation);
   });

-> BackgroundGeolocation.on('location', (location) => {
// handle your locations here
console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation service is running', location);
});
