In Android, a "location provider" is a service that provides your location--typically a GPS signal. So given the error message, it sounds like you are not getting a signal once OsmAnd starts running in the background. If Google Maps also has this problem, that would help narrow the cause down and would probably indicate that it's hardware-specific.
That's about the limit of my knowledge. Maybe someone else here can offer more.
