Are Android geofences surviving a reboot?

Question

is the system persisting them or do I have to add them again them after reboot? I have not found anything about that in the documentation at https://developer.android.com/tr

Answer 1

I haven't found any documentation confirming this, but my own experiments have shown that they are not persisted across reboots.

My setup was as follows:

• Run application
• Application sets up various geofences on first launch only as NEVER_EXPIRE
• Exit application
• Use phone in regions marked by fences
• Confirm fences trigger pending intents which are sent to IntentService
• Leave region
• Reboot phone
• Re-enter region
• Pending intent does not get sent to IntentService

If anyone has more information on this from someone at Google please comment!
