I know similar questions have been asked before but answers were not perfect.
I created an app with geofences using the sample code from android developer website. I did not use any shared preferences to store geofences as I am not removing the geofences. I am testing the app from within the geofence, but my smartphone receives notifications every time the app runs and no notifications are observed when the app is killed. Why does this happen? I think I am supposed to receive notifications even when the app is killed.

Ok, May be a bit late but I'll post the answer on how I fixed this issue myself. Two things:
1) I was adding the geofences every time I run the MainActivity and geofences API triggers the geofencing event, if you add the geofences when you are already inside the specified geofence (i.e. starting the geofence app when you are already inside the geofence).
So I changed my code in the onConnected method to add the geofences only if they are not added previously. (Implemented a check using Shared preferences)
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connected to GoogleApiClient");
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = MainActivity.this.getSharedPreferences("GEO_PREFS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String geofencesExist = sharedPrefs.getString("Geofences added", null);
if (geofencesExist == null) {
LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(
mGoogleApiClient,
getGeofencingRequest(),
getGeofencePendingIntent(this)
).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<Status>() {
#Override
public void onResult(Status status) {
if (status.isSuccess()) {
SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = MainActivity.this.getSharedPreferences("GEO_PREFS", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPrefs.edit();
editor.putString("Geofences added", "1");
editor.commit();
}
}
});
}
}
2) Turns out the reasons for not receiving notifications when the app is not available were
i) Either I toggled location services in the device(on/off/battery saving/device only/high accuracy) at least once after I added the geofences or,
ii) The device was rebooted.
To overcome this, I have added a broadcast receiver to listen to device reboots and location services toggling. In the receiver, I am adding the geofences again if the device either rebooted or location services toggled.

I am using geofence api for proximity but it is not working properly. some times it gives in range and out range at the same location.
i am also using GPS library to improve accuracy of geofence inrange-outrange but still it is not working properly. i am using below code for geofence :
I am using 300 meters radius for considering inrange-outrange (enter-exit)

Is there anything else we can do to improve accuracy and overcome the problem of inrange outrange at the same location ?
I'm making an android application in which want to create a Geofence at LatLong coordinates specified at my server.
The coordinates are getting updated periodically in background from within a service. I'm reading these coordinates and wish to create a Geofence for it in background without user intervention. I tried doing so within a service but it's not working. I can get the coordinates from the server at regular intervals but I'm not able to create Geofence for it, getting a nullPointerException.
However, I'm able to create Geofences in an Activity on click of a button(hardcoding LatLong coordinates) but its not working in a service.

I have tried everything I could think of.
I'm polling the GPS in order to provide accurate location to the OS to increase the accuracy of geofencing. I know it will drain my battery but for now that's not a problem.
Service already has Context. You shouldn't use Context from the Activity because if your Activity is killed mActivity will be null causing all sort of issues. Replace else block in createRequestPendingIntent with this

I've an Android 6.0 Application with an unbound android service connecting to Google API for receiving Fused API Location Provider Updates. For this i need the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION Permission.
Everthing was working fine untill the Update to Marshmallow. Now I need to implement the new Permission Model for my App.
I've read that it is not possible to check android 6.0 Permissions directly from within a service.
All of my Location Update Receiver and Google APi Client connect part is handled by and in the service, and I would linke to keep it there!
Is it possible to check the Permissions once in the acivity and then handle it over to the service when the service is started and the permissions stay in the service for lifetime of the service? Or do I have to check permissions on every LocationUpdate?
And how excactly can I implement the permission check for my service? Has anybody done it yet? Can you give me an Example of your Implementation?
The new Permission check in my activity is already working (like descibed by some examples here on StackOverflow), but how does it work when my service is doing All of the LocationUpdate?
ok update: this is like it is now in my activity but i still receive an error because I#m only checking within my acitvity. How can I get my service part to get aware of the permissions?
my error message:
05-30 15:59:24.035 4261-4261/com.pekam E/Google APi Client﹕ Google

Yes you can accept the permissions once in activity and use it in service , if you grant the permission , then it will never ask again. Following is the code for showing dialog for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION ,You can also refer Requesting Permissions at Run Time
private void showPermissionDialog() {
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(mActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
// Show an expanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(mActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_FOR_LOCATION);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
} else {

For that you have to check before your service start if your service start before checking permission will not work properly

I'm trying to implement Geofence on my APP and the problem is that is not triggering when I'm on the place that I've marked.
The thing that I do is I set the Latitude & Longitude from a Place Picker.
The values that I'm getting are fine because I put it on google maps and the place is the correct one, because I've read many answers that people was setting bad values from lat/long.
I've two classes : GeofenceSingleton.class and GeofenceTransitionsIntentService.
The GeofenceSingleton.class looks like :
public class GeofenceSingleton implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, ResultCallback<Status> {
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;
private static GeofenceSingleton _singleInstance;
private static Context appContext;
private static final String ERR_MSG = "Application Context is not set!! " +
"Please call GeofenceSngleton.init() with proper application context";
private PendingIntent mGeofencePendingIntent;
private static ArrayList<Geofence> mGeofenceList;
private GeofenceSingleton() {
if (appContext == null)
throw new IllegalStateException(ERR_MSG);
this.googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this.appContext)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
this.googleApiClient.connect();
mGeofenceList = new ArrayList<Geofence>();
}
/**
* #param applicationContext
*/
public static void init(Context applicationContext) {
appContext = applicationContext;
}
public static GeofenceSingleton getInstance() {
if (_singleInstance == null)
synchronized (GeofenceSingleton.class) {
if (_singleInstance == null)
_singleInstance = new GeofenceSingleton();
}
return _singleInstance;
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
public void addGeofence(Location location, String uid) {
mGeofenceList.add(new Geofence.Builder()
.setRequestId(uid)
.setCircularRegion(
location.getLatitude(),
location.getLongitude(),
500
)
.setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER)
.setExpirationDuration(1000000)
.build());
}
private GeofencingRequest getGeofencingRequest() {
GeofencingRequest.Builder builder = new GeofencingRequest.Builder();
builder.setInitialTrigger(GeofencingRequest.INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER);
builder.addGeofences(mGeofenceList);
return builder.build();
}
private PendingIntent getGeofencePendingIntent() {
// Reuse the PendingIntent if we already have it.
if (mGeofencePendingIntent != null) {
return mGeofencePendingIntent;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(appContext, GeofenceSingleton.class);
// We use FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT so that we get the same pending intent back when calling
// addGeofences() and removeGeofences().
return PendingIntent.getService(appContext, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
public void startGeofencing() {
if (!googleApiClient.isConnected()) {
Toast.makeText(appContext, "API client not connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(
googleApiClient,
// The GeofenceRequest object.
getGeofencingRequest(),
// A pending intent that that is reused when calling removeGeofences(). This
// pending intent is used to generate an intent when a matched geofence
// transition is observed.
getGeofencePendingIntent()
).setResultCallback(this); // Result processed in onResult().
Toast.makeText(appContext,"Geofencing started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void removeGeofence(){
LocationServices.GeofencingApi.removeGeofences(
googleApiClient,
// This is the same pending intent that was used in addGeofences().
getGeofencePendingIntent()
);
}
#Override
public void onResult(Status status) {
if (status.isSuccess()) {
// Update state and save in shared preferences.
Toast.makeText(
appContext,
"YO",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(
appContext,
"NOO",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show();
}
}
}
And GeofenceTransitionsIntentService
public class GeofenceTransitionsIntentService extends IntentService {
private static final String TAG = "Geofence-Service";
private Handler handler;
SharedPreferences sp;
SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
String EmailName, MessageEmail;
Context mContext;
Boolean EmailSent = false;
public GeofenceTransitionsIntentService() {
super(TAG);
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
this.mContext = this;
sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
handler = new Handler();
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
final GeofencingEvent geofencingEvent = GeofencingEvent.fromIntent(intent);
if (geofencingEvent.hasError()) {
Log.e(TAG, "Error in geofencing event");
return;
}
// Get the transition type.
final int geofenceTransition = geofencingEvent.getGeofenceTransition();
// Test that the reported transition was of interest.
if (geofenceTransition == 1) {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Entered", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
sendNotification();
}
});
Log.i(TAG, "Entered");
}
else {
// Log the error.
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sorry you are out", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Log.e(TAG, String.valueOf(geofenceTransition));
}
}
private void sendNotification() {
Toast.makeText(GeofenceTransitionsIntentService.this, "HEEEEEEEY I'M IN", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
On my MainActivity I've got this :
GeofenceSingleton.init(this); //If I don't call this the class doesn't work
this.geofenceSingleton = GeofenceSingleton.getInstance();
And then I build a Geofence as follows :
Location geofence = new Location("");
geofence.setLatitude(Double.parseDouble(latitude));
geofence.setLongitude(Double.parseDouble(longitude));
geofenceSingleton.addGeofence(geofence, GeofenceKey);
geofenceSingleton.startGeofencing();
NOTES
I've added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> on my manifest.xml
I declared the service as <service android:name=".GeofenceTransitionsIntentService"/>
And I added this line on my build.gradle : compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
It only shows Toast.makeText(appContext,"YO",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); that's because status is success, and also shows the Toast.makeText(appContext,"Geofencing started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); means that it's started.
QUESTION
Why my IntentService is never called?
I tested it putting a Lat/Long of my home and since I'm on it should be triggered, isn't it?
It will never work because what you are doing is
Intent intent = new Intent(appContext, GeofenceSingleton.class);
passing intent to GeofenceSingleton ?
What you need to do is
Intent intent = new Intent(appContext, GeofenceTransitionsIntentService.class);
If your Intent is already constructed with the proper class (see varunkr's answer), you also need to make sure the service is also included in your AndroidManifest.xml.
<application
...
<service android:name=".GeofencingTransitionIntentService" />
Make sure your service and broadcast receive have these property enabled in manifest.
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
The motto here is calling the Service 'ActivityTrackerService' when I say requestActivityUpdates() using the GoogleApiClient's ActivityRecognition.ActivityRecognitionApi as shown in the code below when googleApiClient.connect() is called. After the api is connected the onConnected callback executes and activity updates are requested. The code runs perfectly fine as in the result call back i get a success. But some how Service class onHandleIntent is not called. I am not sure if the service has started working or not.

private Context context;

The specific android manifest entries are as follows :
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />
<service android:name=".ActivityTrackerService" >
</service>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Has anybody tried using the com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient to request for ActivityUpdates using ActivityRecognition.ActivityRecognitionApi.requestActivityUpdates or Is there some othe rway to use GoogleApiClient to request activity updates ??
I had the same problem, and even with explicit intent the onHandleIntent() would not be called.
I found that onStartCommand was called however, and could get around it by setting and checking the intent action.
It is not an explanation or solutions per se, but at least a workaound ;)
you should write your project's gradle (app)
dependencies{
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:11.8.0'
....
}
then add libraries and import.
