The Android location service cannot run in the background

I'm developing a location app. When the user presses the button, the application should start tracking some statistics based on longitude and latitude. All these things work well, but when it comes to locking the screen or putting the application in the background, the service will no longer work!

I've read a lot about background services and broadcast receivers, but I don't know how to implement Google API location listener in the service and where to implement it in mainactivity. Who can tell me how to implement such a service or explain the link with a short code example?

resolvent:

Use the fuse location service and save the updated location each time

public class LocationNotifyService extends Service implements
        LocationListener,
        GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
        GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    public static Location mCurrentLocation;

    .............................

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {

        //show error dialog if GoolglePlayServices not available
        if (isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
            mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
        mLocationRequest.setInterval(BACKGROUND_INTERVAL);  
        mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(BACKGROUND_INTERVAL);
        mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
        //mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(10.0f);  /* min dist for location change, here it is 10 meter */
            mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                    .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                    .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                    .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                    .build();

            mGoogleApiClient.connect();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
         return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    }

    //Check Google play is available or not
    private boolean isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
        int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
        return ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status;
    }


    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
        startLocationUpdates();
    }

    protected void startLocationUpdates() {
        try {
             PendingResult<Status> pendingResult = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
                    mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {}
    }

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

        //Save your location
    }
    ............................
}

You can get the current location on locationchanged()
