Reference: #10 (comment)

A workaround for this issue: #10

[MoralCode]

Thanks for the contribution! I notice that @Almoullim self-assigned the issue you mentioned so i hope it'll see a true root-cause fix soon. In the meantime thanks for your contribution! Do you think it would be better to explicitly mention that this is a workaround, like this:

Start the location service. This will also ask the user for permission if not asked previously by another package.

BackgroundLocation.startLocationService();

There is currently an open issue (#10) where, if the location service is started multiple times, the location callback will get called repeatedly. This can be worked around by calling BackgroundLocation.stopLocationService(); to stop any previous running services (such as from a previous run of the app) before starting a new one.

Hi @MoralCode, thanks for your reply. I think it would be better to just directly tell the reader where the code needs to be added. It will be easier for the reader to understand. But we should explicitly mention the reason for adding the code as well, as suggested by you.

Start the location service. This will also ask the user for permission if not asked previously by another package.

BackgroundLocation.stopLocationService(); //To stop any previous running services (Read the note below)
BackgroundLocation.startLocationService();

Note: There is currently an open issue (#10) where, if the location service is started multiple times, the location callback will get called repeatedly. This can be worked around by calling BackgroundLocation.stopLocationService(); to stop any previous running services (such as from a previous run of the app) before starting a new one.

I think this workaround code line should be added everytime rather than the user first testing whether the bug is occurring and then him adding the line. It will lead to a better user experience of the plugin I think.
You can make changes to above as you need. Thanks.
