.onLocation is merely an event subscription. You can add as many as you wish or none at all. The /example app does this with separate subscribers updating info on the bottom-bar and another to print markers on the map.

hey, I am a beginner and I am not understanding how it works do we have to call the event manually or it will automatically get called?
When I am running flutter run
then it invokes two event location and motion
after that it is not showing any update on location?
This is what I am getting I/flutter ( 6786): [location] - [Location {odometer: 0.0, activity: {confidence: 100, type: still}, extras: {}, event: motionchange, battery: {level: 0.58, is_charging: true}, uuid: d3342545-3e76-4f88-b113-8fb38e9110b7, age: 185, coords: {altitude: -40.5, heading: -1.0, latitude: 19.3145539, accuracy: 87.27, heading_accuracy: -1.0, altitude_accuracy: 9.17, speed_accuracy: 1.5, speed: 0.0, age: 220, longitude: 72.8565985, ellipsoidal_altitude: -40.5}, is_moving: false, timestamp: 2024-04-24T08:50:37.364Z}]
I/flutter ( 6786): [motionchange] - [Location {odometer: 0.0, activity: {confidence: 100, type: still}, extras: {}, event: motionchange, battery: {level: 0.58, is_charging: true}, uuid: d3342545-3e76-4f88-b113-8fb38e9110b7, age: 185, coords: {altitude: -40.5, heading: -1.0, latitude: 19.3145539, accuracy: 87.27, heading_accuracy: -1.0, altitude_accuracy: 9.17, speed_accuracy: 1.5, speed: 0.0, age: 220, longitude: 72.8565985, ellipsoidal_altitude: -40.5}, is_moving: false, timestamp: 2024-04-24T08:50:37.364Z}]

and later when terminating the app then it is not printing anything
☯️ onPause
D/TSLocationManager( 6786): [c.t.l.l.LifecycleManager onStop] ☯️ onStop
D/TSBackgroundFetch( 6786): ☯️ onStop

D/TSLocationManager( 6786): [c.t.l.event.TerminateEvent$a onChange]
D/TSLocationManager( 6786): ℹ️ TERMINATE_EVENT ignored (MainActivity is still active).

PLEASE HELP ME!

when I am terminating then callback function is not getting called
It is not detecting the motion.

This is not the place to seek support. I suggest you post an issue at the GitHub repo.

I am using this flutter_background_geolocation package to fetch the user's current location from the background service (workmanager). but it shows this error

Error:
Setting airplane_mode_on has moved from android.provider.Settings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.

How can I resolve it? Although I am fetching location correctly when I used code onPressed listener. but on background service, it gave me that error and did not fetch the location.

returning read-only value.

A resd-only value is all the plug-in wants.. This is not a problem. I’m aware of this warning.

A gist is not the place to seek tech support. Post an issue at the GitHub repo.

I updated null-safety and build ready flutter 3.22.0
