Android Oreo background location limits

Viewed 890

So, in a few words I'm using android.location to get my location and I don't see any difference between when the app is in foreground or background. My first thought was about the fact that Android said to us to use Google Location Services API to get the location. I also tested it with that (Google Location Services API) and it works the same. No difference when getting the location between foregound and background.

My question is this: do you know any reason why it works the same? Knowing that https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background-location-limits.html told us that when the app is in background we will get slower callbacks with the location("Apps can receive location updates only a few times each hour").

Thanks!
