Location not updated on 10 mins of interval

I want to track the user location. So I have made a code so that on every 10 mins of interval its location should be hit on server. If it is not moving also the location should hit at 10 min of interval. I set Location interval minutes for 10 min public static final long LOCATION_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 10 * 60 * 1000;
It should update the location with 10 min, but it hits randomly. I also increase the gps frequency distance from 10 to gpsFreqInDistance = 100 .Random hits are stopped but it will not updated on 10 mins of interval.
So what to do to get location at 10 min of interval.
Below is my manifiest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" /
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
As for Android above 10version u cant use background location and foreground location simultaneously. So i comment the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" in my project.

Why you are passing null in the last parameter? Did you try without passing that?
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, AUtils.LOCATION_INTERVAL,
gpsFreqInDistance, this, null);
First of all Google Location Services are far better than Traditional LocationManager to achieve this requirement.

how to add to sqlite in background

I have a Handler in my fragment that every 5 second add my location in SQLite.
What I need is to maintain this action in background when I open another fragment. How can I do this ?
Handler timerHandler = new Handler();
Runnable timerRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
int minutes = seconds / 60;
seconds = seconds % 60;
Point p = ls.getPoint();
String X = Double.toString(p.getX());
String Y = Double.toString(p.getY());
db = new MySQLiteHelper(getActivity());
db.addLocation(new LocationXY(1,X,Y,"111"));
clearmap();
createPolyline();
timerHandler.postDelayed(this, 5000);
}
};

Well, what do both your fragments have in common? Their Activity! So run your handler in it.
As #Piyush pointed out, you should use an AsyncTask or a Service for background processes.

Yeah, as #Piyush and #Ricardo suggest - use a service with a Timer and a LocationListener.
Then invoke timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(yourSqliteUpdateMethod, 0, 5000); to update the database. See my service class below, which contains a lot of extra stuff, but you should be able to get what you want out of it...

Location service got stopped by Doze mode

I'm developing sport tracking app that uses location manager and gps provider for getting location updates every second even if the screen is off and the phone is in the pocket.
When user pressed start button in my activity I start service in foreground, display notification and register location listener.
Service starts receiving location updates and writes them into my track file.
Suddenly I get log message 'Power manager idle mode: true', the phone goes into Doze mode and my sevice stops getting any location update until the phone wakes up.
I read docs about Doze mode and see that it shouldn't affect location services, but it does in my case.
May be I'm doing something wrong. Here is the code of my service, any help is really appreciated.

And permission in Menifest file are

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

You have to save all proximity region IDs(request code) and when u want to remove these region just call to remove from locationmanager . For e.g.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(AppConstants.BROAD_ACTION);
for(int i=0;i<countRegionIDArr.size();i++){
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(AlertService.this, countRegionIDArr.get(i), intent, 0);
mlocManager.removeProximityAlert(pendingIntent);
}

Accessing values from service to activity Android

I have a service which tracks the user location and I am not sure how I can interact it with my activity. I need to be able to access the first available latitude & longitude values and also if there is a change, can anyone give me any tips please.
My service:
public class LocationService extends Service implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
public double latitude, longitude;
IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
private LocationClient mLocationClient;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
// Flag that indicates if a request is underway.
private boolean mInProgress;
private Boolean servicesAvailable = false;
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public LocationService getServerInstance() {
return LocationService.this;
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mInProgress = false;
// Create the LocationRequest object
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
// Use high accuracy
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
// Set the update interval to 5 seconds
mLocationRequest.setInterval(Constants.UPDATE_INTERVAL);
// Set the fastest update interval to 1 second
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(Constants.FASTEST_INTERVAL);
servicesAvailable = servicesConnected();
/*

mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this);

// Check that Google Play services is available

My broadcast receiver:
public class LocationLoggerServiceManager extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String TAG = "LocationLoggerServiceManager";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Make sure we are getting the right intent
if( "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) {
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), LocationService.class.getName());
ComponentName service = context.startService(new Intent().setComponent(comp));
if (null == service){
// something really wrong here
Log.e(TAG, "Could not start service " + comp.toString());
}
}else {
Log.e(TAG, "Received unexpected intent " + intent.toString());
}
}
}

In your onLocationChanged callback, you need to use sendBroadcast to notify your Activity of the change. Here is an example from an answer to another question (taken from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/4739898/826731).
In your service, you can broadcast your intent like this:
sendBroadcast(new Intent(RefreshTask.REFRESH_DATA_INTENT));
(the RefreshTask.REFRESH_DATA_INTENT variable is simply a string)
And in your activity, you need to check for that particular string:
private class DataUpdateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(RefreshTask.REFRESH_DATA_INTENT)) {
//Do stuff - maybe update my view based on the changed DB contents
}
}
You can pass values from the service to the BroadcastReceiver as follows:
In the service
i.putExtra("Counter", counter);
In BroadcastReceiver
intent.getIntExtra("Counter", -1); // -1 is the default value
