GPS tracking app in Xamarin stop working in the background after a while

I'm trying to make a gps tracking app in Xamarin that works in the background too. Currently I have created a service that every two seconds checks the location of the device.
I am currently testing it on an Android Honor 10 and I notice that when i launch the app in debug with Visual Studio keeping the phone connected to the PC it works without ever stopping.
If, on the other hand, I try the app without debugging, after a while it stop tracking gps if I put it in the background.
So this is my service in the main project:
public class TrackingService
{
readonly bool stopping = false;
public TrackingService()
{
}
public async Task Run(CancellationToken token)
{
await Task.Run(async () => {
while (!stopping)
{
token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
try
{
await Task.Delay(2000);
var request = new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.Best);
var location = await Geolocation.GetLocationAsync(request);
//Other stuff like writing coordinates into a local database
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
//Error
});
}
}
return;
}, token);
}
}
This is the the start of the service for the Android project:
[Register("com.companyname.dolomicchiostreetapp.TrackingService")]
public class AndroidLocationService : Service
{
CancellationTokenSource _cts;
public const int SERVICE_RUNNING_NOTIFICATION_ID = 10000;
public override IBinder OnBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}
public override StartCommandResult OnStartCommand(Intent intent, StartCommandFlags flags, int startId)
{
_cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
Notification notif = DependencyService.Get<INotification>().ReturnNotif();
StartForeground(SERVICE_RUNNING_NOTIFICATION_ID, notif);
Task.Run(() => {
try
{
var locShared = new TrackingService();
locShared.Run(_cts.Token).Wait();
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
}
finally
{
if (_cts.IsCancellationRequested)
{
var message = new StopServiceMessage();
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(
() => MessagingCenter.Send(message, "ServiceStopped")
);
}
}
}, _cts.Token);
return StartCommandResult.Sticky;
}
public override void OnDestroy()
{
if (_cts != null)
{
_cts.Token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
_cts.Cancel();
}
base.OnDestroy();
}
}
And this is my AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="com.companyname.dolomicchiostreetapp">

I followed this github example: XamarinForms.LocationService
Has anyone ever had this problem ?
Thanks to those who will help me.

See Limited Updates to Background Tracking - "Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher - Android preserves device battery life by ... If your app is running in the background, it can receive location updates only a few times each hour".
If you want more frequent updates, then you need a Foreground Service.

Play Notification Sound like a Phone Call Ringtone sound

I am building a prototype in Xamarin.Forms that sends a push notification to the same App installed on other devices. I'm using OneSignal libraries.
Everything works perfectly. The push notification is sent by one device and received by the others correctly. Whether the App is in the foreground or in the background.
When the push notification arrives on the other devices, I capture it in HandleNotificationReceived and call my service that plays the Ringtone sound.
When push notification arrives on other devices and the app is in the foreground, everything works perfectly. However, when it arrives on the other devices, and the App is in the background, only Push Notification arrives, but the Ringtone sound does not play.
I read about limitations when trying to run some things in Background and I believe my problem has something to do with it.
can anybody help me?

FCM (FirebaseMessagingService) OnNewToken not being hit with Android

I'm following the instructions on this page to create the push notifications. I've actually done it once before and was able to get it to work (a few weeks back), took some time away, and figured I'd do the tutorial again as a refresher only now, for some reason, I can't even get the code to hit the OnNewToken method to generate my token and register the device with the notification hub.
I've watched dozens of videos, read other tutorials, and they're all saying / showing pretty much the same thing so I think I need a new pair of eyes to show me what I'm missing this 2nd time around.
I've tried to pull out specific information but still keep it as readable as I could.
Installed NuGet packages:
Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging - v71.1740.0
Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base - v71.1610.0
Xamarin.Forms - v4.4.0.991640

google-services.json
I just downloaded this file from Firebase, added it to the Android project and set the Build Action to GoogleServicesJson.
Hopefully somebody can see what I'm missing as I've had this same tutorial working before.

Please uninstall the application in your android, then redeploy it.
onNewToken() will be called only once per installation.
If you need it to be called again, uninstall the app from your device and restart it.

You forgot [IntentFilter(new[] { "com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" })]

After two days of troubleshooting, finally i found out that the latest versions of the below nuget packages (or may be one of them) is causing this. I downgraded to the below versions and it started working.
Xamarin.Azure.NotificationHubs.Android -> v0.6.0
Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging -> v71.1740.0
Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base -> v71.1610.0

Android - InstanceID.GetToken Throws Java.Lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError

I am currently adding notifications to my Android app. I am using VS2015 and Xamarin. I figured I'd create a side project to test it first. I used the documentation from Xamarin and Firebase.
When my app launches, it tries to create a new token, but I get an error instead:

pushwoosh onMessageReceive xamarin android

ok, hello i am trying to implement pushwoosh notification on my xamarin.android application
i am on a stage were notification sent to client and when i click the notification it should redirect me on a certain activity and ui, here is my code
private void DoOnMessageReceive(String message)
{
var messageJson = new JSONObject(message);
if (messageJson.GetString("title") == "akotube")
{
var intent = new Intent(this, typeof(Second));
//intent.PutExtra(PushManager.PushReceiveEvent, messageJson.ToString());
intent.PutExtra("message", "akotube");
StartActivity(intent);

Your Category in Activity needs to match your Activity's Intent filter
Also
Getting the intent and starting the activity on your DoOnMessageRecieved
Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(SecondActivity));
intent.PutExtra(PushManager.PushReceiveEvent, messageJson.ToString());
StartActivity(intent);
Where the SecondActivity is the activity you want to navigate to.
