Geo Fence Location Permission

For geofencing, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission is needed starting from Android 10 (API level 29).

This is because geofencing is a feature that typically requires app to receive location updates even when it is not in the foreground, which qualifies as background location access.

Add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

You can request location permission:

import com.cleverpush.CleverPush;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        CleverPush.getInstance(this).requestLocationPermission();
    }
}
import com.cleverpush.CleverPush;

class MainActivity:Activity() {
    fun onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle) {
        CleverPush.getInstance(this).requestLocationPermission()
    }
}

If the device's API level is 29 or above, a dialog will appear after granting location permission. Clicking the Go to Settings button will open the app's settings screen. From there, please navigate to Permissions -> Location -> Allow all the time to enable geofence functionality.
