GPSTest can leave GNSS receiver active on back-button (when not configured to do so) about gpstest

I hope you ask that question about any particular ROM :-) It's certainly fair to question if this is a ROM bug, but that doesn't seem particularly more likely with custom vs stock-foo vs stock-bar. FWIW, I haven't been hearing anything remotely like this about anything on Calyx. All the related gripes are "this program that uses proprietary APIs isn't working", meaning Google Play location services vs the AOSP APIs.

And of course, if anyone else can reproduce, that's great. I was not able to do so this morning when writing the bug report, but I have seen it actually happen twice. Seems pretty obviously timing sensitive.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a ROM issue, though, because the notification is showing entirely reasonable data, so GPSTest is receiving updates, and knows it is in background. I should have mentioned that I think (only 98%) that I then re-opened GPSTest, waited a few seconds, and exited, and that led to the notification going away.

I'll try to have a look at the code.

Thanks for the report!

Can anyone reproduce this with a stock Android device (not running a custom ROM)?

[barbeau]

Yes, standard ROM question :).

If you see this again, are you able to dismiss the notification by tapping on the "Stop" button on the notification?

[gdt]

Thanks. Just pointing out that "stock" is N things , not 1 thing.

WIll check on dismissing; that's a good test.

I read code some. It looks like my speculation above might actually be right. The start triggers an intent to arrive and if the exit from the UI happens before it arrives, there is nothing to check that the main UI has exited.
See ForegroundOnlyLocationService.kt:subscribeToLocationUpdates and the comment in it.
