Mantenga el servicio de ubicación activo cuando la aplicación esté cerrada.

Tengo un servicio que envía una notificación cuando el usuario cambia su ubicación. Este servicio funciona correctamente, pero el problema surge cuando el usuario cierra la aplicación cuando el servicio se cierra.

¿Cómo puedo hacer que el servicio siga vivo aunque la aplicación esté cerrada?

• Obtener una ubicación exacta y actual de Network Provider
• Android obtener la ubicación del mejor proveedor disponible
• Obtener ubicación * gruesa * del proveedor de GPS en Android
• ¿Cómo estima Google mi ubicación sin GPS?
• Creación de un objeto Ubicación en Android con valores de latitud y longitud

Mi servicio es:

public class LocationService extends Service implements LocationListener { public final static int MINUTE = 1000 * 60; boolean isGPSEnabled = false; boolean isNetworkEnabled = false; boolean canGetLocation = false; Location location; // location double latitude = 0; // latitude double longitude = 0; // longitude String provider; // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1 * MINUTE; // Declaring a Location Manager protected LocationManager locationManager; // Binder given to clients private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder(); /** * Class used for the client Binder. Because we know this service always * runs in the same process as its clients, we don't need to deal with IPC. */ public class LocalBinder extends Binder { public LocationService getService() { // Return this instance of LocalService so clients can call public // methods return LocationService.this; } } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return mBinder; } public Location getLocation() { try { locationManager = (LocationManager) getBaseContext().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE); // getting GPS status isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); // getting network status isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) { // no network provider is enabled. DEFAULT COORDINATES } else { this.canGetLocation = true; if (isNetworkEnabled) { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES, MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this); Log.d("Network", "Network Enabled"); if (locationManager != null) { location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); if (location != null) { latitude = location.getLatitude(); longitude = location.getLongitude(); } } } // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services if (isGPSEnabled) { if (location == null) { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES, MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this); Log.d("GPS", "GPS Enabled"); if (locationManager != null) { location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); if (location != null) { latitude = location.getLatitude(); longitude = location.getLongitude(); } } } } } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Log.i("LOCATION", "Latitude: " + latitude + "- Longitude: " + longitude); return location; } @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location arg0) { NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); Intent intent = null; intent = new Intent(this, CompleteSurveyActivity.class); PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher).setAutoCancel(true) .setContentIntent(contentIntent).setContentTitle(this.getString(R.string.app_name)).setContentText("text"); // mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent); mNotificationManager.notify((int) System.currentTimeMillis() % Integer.MAX_VALUE, mBuilder.build()); double longitude = location.getLongitude(); double latitude = location.getLatitude(); Log.i("LOCATION", "Latitude: " + latitude + "- Longitude: " + longitude); } @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) { } @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) { } @Override public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) { } } 

Llamé desde aquí:

 public class MyActivity extends Activity { LocationService mService; boolean mBound = false; private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) { // We've bound to LocalService, cast the IBinder and get // LocalService instance LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) service; mService = binder.getService(); mBound = true; } @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) { mBound = false; } }; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.my_activity); exampleButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { initService(); } }); } public void initService() { if (mBound) mService.getLocation(); } @Override protected void onStart() { super.onStart(); // Bind to LocalService Intent intent = new Intent(this, LocationService.class); bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); } @Override protected void onStop() { super.onStop(); // Unbind from the service if (mBound) { unbindService(mConnection); mBound = false; } } } 

Manifest.xml

 public class MyService extends Service { @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { // This won't be a bound service, so simply return null return null; } @Override public void onCreate() { // This will be called when your Service is created for the first time // Just do any operations you need in this method. } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId); } }
