BUILD FAILED in 43s

Tried changing kotlin version, changed minSdkVersion but no change.

Here are a few things you can do:

run flutter clean and flutter pub get and then try again.
go to your android/app/build.gradle and upgrade the Kotlin version. Latest right now is 1.6.0 i.e. ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.0'
Go to android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and upgrade distributionURL to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4.2-all.zip

This is where I got these solutions from, Flutter: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.

Update: Change your dependency in your pubspec.yaml to:

background_location: 
    git:
      url: https://github.com/hilalbaig/background_location.git
      ref: master
