Answer 2

You can install background geolocation plugin
$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation
$ npm install --save #ionic-native/background-geolocation
and also add this in .ts for example,
import { BackgroundGeolocation, BackgroundGeolocationConfig, BackgroundGeolocationResponse } from '#ionic-native/background-geolocation';
constructor(private backgroundGeolocation: BackgroundGeolocation) { }
...
const config: BackgroundGeolocationConfig = {
desiredAccuracy: 10,
stationaryRadius: 20,
distanceFilter: 30,
debug: true, // enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
stopOnTerminate: false, // enable this to clear background location settings when the app terminates
};
this.backgroundGeolocation.configure(config)
.subscribe((location: BackgroundGeolocationResponse) => {
console.log(location);
// IMPORTANT: You must execute the finish method here to inform the native plugin that you're finished,
// and the background-task may be completed. You must do this regardless if your HTTP request is successful or not.
// IF YOU DON'T, ios will CRASH YOUR APP for spending too much time in the background.
this.backgroundGeolocation.finish(); // FOR IOS ONLY
});
// start recording location
this.backgroundGeolocation.start();
// If you wish to turn OFF background-tracking, call the #stop method.
this.backgroundGeolocation.stop();
