I was expecting the background location to run ad give me periodic updates on location

here is the background service code

      if(await service.isForegroundService()){
        service.setForegroundNotificationInfo(title: "Foreground Notification", content: "If you see this, your phone is super sensitive");

    }
    getLocationUpdates();
    if (kDebugMode) {
      print("background service running");
    }
    service.invoke("update");
  });

}
