this subject has been discussed quite a lot, i suggest you search the net and this forum for answers.
the short list of things you need to know: - use location change listeners for changes when the device is awake and responding - use alarms to wake the device for periodical updates - Since a service does not guarantee it will remain alive to send the location changes, make sure you take a power/cpu wake lock every time a change needs to be sent (especially when being awoken by an alarm) - do not try to keep a service as foreground and keep the wake lock forever, this will just drain the battery. let the device sleep and only use wake locks for updating. - remember that the location returned is the last known one, let the device get a fix on it's current location.
