Location Service GPS, Set High Priority

Question

I have an Android app which uses Background Service which works in foreground mode and is sticky. This service continuously polls for GPS location every 15 minutes.

After around 1 hour of time (this is random), the service stops giving the location. We are using Fused Location Provider to fetch the location.

Is there any way to set Location OS Process on high priority?

Are you using Android M? – Rusheel Jain Mar 21 '16 at 14:37 — Rusheel Jain, Mar 21 '16 at 14:37

You can use LocationRequest object to set the high accuracy

 mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest().setInterval(15000).setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

and in onConnected() use

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, mContext);
