Lightweight source kit
Background location in Flutter is harder than it looks
The moment the screen locks or the app leaves the foreground, Android starts working against you. This kit exists so you don't have to fight it alone.
Screen lock kills updates
Location callbacks silently stop firing once the device sleeps, unless the service is configured correctly.
Battery optimizations throttle you
Android's power management can delay, batch, or drop location updates to save battery.
App backgrounded, GPS lost
Without a proper foreground service, the OS can suspend your app's location plugin entirely.
Manufacturer quirks
OEM battery managers (Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, etc.) each handle background apps differently.
Everything you need to integrate it
A complete, reusable starting point — not just a snippet. Here's exactly what's in the download.
Dart source code
The Flutter-side engine and integration logic — ready to drop into your project and extend.
Native Android implementation
The included Android-specific code and configuration needed to keep tracking alive in the background.

Built for real Flutter products
This kit is designed for developers building apps that genuinely depend on continuous location.
Family-safety & location sharing
Keep loved ones' locations updating reliably, even with the app closed.
Delivery & driver tracking
Track drivers and deliveries in real time without constant foreground use.
Fitness & outdoor activity
Record runs, rides, and hikes accurately, screen off included.
Field-service apps
Give location-aware business tools a dependable tracking backbone.
Why start from this engine, not a blank file?
Instead of reverse-engineering Android foreground services and platform channels from scratch, study and integrate a codebase already built around a working background-tracking approach. Adapt it to your app, then follow the included setup and testing instructions.
- Save days of trial-and-error with Android foreground services and permissions.
- Learn a working pattern for continuous location updates across Dart and native Android code.
- Customize, don't fight, an existing codebase instead of building platform channels from zero.
- Ship with more confidence using the included testing guidance in the PDF guide.
import 'package:location/location.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
class LocationService {
static Future<void> init() async {
await Location().start(
interval: 15,
accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
);
}
static Stream<LocationData> stream() {
return Location().locationStream;
}
}Honest platform compatibility
Verified on the devices and configurations tested by the developer. iOS support is not included as a verified capability — the Dart layer is cross-platform, but the included native implementation targets Android.
Background tracking depends on Android version, permissions, foreground-service requirements, battery optimization, manufacturer-specific behavior, and your app's own configuration. Continuous tracking can't be guaranteed on every device or under every condition — we'd rather tell you that upfront than oversell it.
Before you buy
This is a developer source-code kit, not a complete ready-to-publish mobile application.
- Basic Flutter and Android development knowledge is recommended.
- Please review the included requirements, integration instructions, and license before purchasing.
- Use it as a starting point, adapt it to your application, and follow the included setup and testing instructions.
Full product description
A reusable background-location engine for Flutter developers — with Dart and native Android code.
Building a Flutter application that tracks location in the background can be challenging. Updates may become unreliable when the screen is locked, the app moves into the background, or Android applies battery restrictions.
This source-code kit gives you a reusable starting point for implementing background location tracking in your own Flutter application.
What you'll get
- Dart source code — the Flutter-side engine and integration logic.
- Native Android implementation — the included Android-specific code and configuration.
- PDF integration guide — setup instructions, code examples, and explanations.
- README documentation — installation, configuration, and usage instructions.
- License — terms governing your use of the included source code.
