Location tracking in Flutter for Android and iOS devices

[priswin jose]

Hello Team,

Need help to figure out a possible solution for both iOS & Android. I'm building a Flutter app that is in constant communication with the backend Laravel application that manages the database.

Currently, when the app is active in the foreground, it fetches the location and does the API communication to store the location data.

But how to run this particular app in the background to track the location and communicate back to its Laravel backend application with an API in an interval of 15 seconds, even if the phone is idle / screen is off??

Thanks, Hariharasudhan for your reply. But your solution doesn't help us to sort out the issue.

My app must run in the background to track the location and communicate back to its Laravel backend application with an API. No need to display the map inside the app.
