    Already location dynamic option available.

    @parthiban  Many thanks for your reply, can you share more details about the location dynamic option, what I mean is like while the application is closed on the mobile to have a a process running in the background  to store the location GPS every certain seconds or check if the user reaches certain location to push him an message through push notification option, does the option you suggest meets this requirements.

    APEX apps all run in the foreground of the device web browser. There is no “running in the background” for APEX apps in the browser. Processes can run in the background only on the server.

    APEX apps are not device native. This is a use case where an APEX app is likely not the best choice for the hardware.
