Getting location updates both foreground and background in android google maps

Question

I am developing an android app which will track the user location trace (GPS Provider) and show polyline. I have implemented that using

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, listener);

in my activity. But now when the user close the activity from the stack i can't get the location updates. Is it possible to get the location update even the activity closed?

Search `GPS Logger in Android` and get source code from `Github`: [GPSLogger](https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger) — M D, Jan 07 '15 at 06:36
