But for example, how WhatsApp does to receive messages (in the background) without showing any foreground?

They are whitelisted by the device manufacturer and they use the tools provided by the Google like GCM/FCM which are more reliable.

Hi, if you are trying to use the location services from background then it is not possible since the android 9. You will have to use Taifun's extension for that.

What extension is that may I ask. Thank you for the help

It's this extension, check this out. It also works in background.

is there any free alternatives that you could recommend?

unfortunately there is no free locationservice extension available, but you could write your own extension and create the functionality yourself...

more information about how to create an extension see the App Inventor Extensions document
however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...

You can start learning all you need to learn to do it, then do it, after long days of trying things, testing and failing, all in your spare time, leaving other things you like to do for this.
Then after all that time and intellect invested, just give it out for free so everyone can make money with it except you.
Sounds awesome right? :thinking:
