Location update is stopped when the application goes off the screen

[sudhakar98]

First of all, thanks for this wonderful Application. I have installed GpsTracker on Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 4.2.1 from GitHub source.

The application is working fine in all aspects as long as it is in the foreground. When it goes to background (due to screen lock or by pressing the Home hard key), the update to server is stopped. I observed the onLocationChanged() is never called in this state.

Second issue that I see is, the GPS provider is never used as an alternative. The location is always captured from wifi/network provider sources.

Please let me know any thoughts that can help me overcome these two issues.
