I am working on tracking app where i get the location update in background mode from gps. I have search on google i found that Android 12 - Foreground service launch restrictions. So you have use Work manager insted of foreground intentService.
And workManager minimum limit is 15 minutues for WorkManager Periodicity. Then how can i get location update every seconds in background mode.
Because workmanager request not run every seconds.
Thank you.
When you are actively tracking the user you should use a Foreground Service. WorkManager is for cases where you care for the Work to finish, but the priority will be to save the battery.
I can assure you that WorkManager is the wrong API for you.
Why do you need to start the service from the background? What is your exact use case?

Some use cases for using foreground services directly are as follows:
