Background location with Unity?

[ROBYER1]

Description:
Working on an app using your sdk that needs background location used to trigger location-based notifications on Android and IOS - the docs aren't quite clear on how this works with the Unity SDK
https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/sdk-reference#promptlocation-method

Using OneSignal SDK 2.13.6 on Android 10 with Unity 2020.3.5f1, the request location access prompt we get when calling the functions below in start only allows ' Deny / Allow only while using the app' and no option for 'Allow access in the background'
OneSignal.SetLocationShared(true); OneSignal.PromptLocation();

I then went and did another build, this time editing the android.manifest file to include
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

Now the dialogue requesting permission still doesn't request background access but we can configure it in the settings - apps - permissions on Android.

Are we doing something wrong, does OneSignal Unity SDK support background location and why does the triggered permission request not allow background location tracking?

@ROBYER1 Thanks for reporting, I believe there has to be a change to the OneSignal-Android-SDK to add support to prompt for background location when the app has the permission to defined for it.

As a work around if you can use some other code to prompt for background location the OneSignal SDK will be able to use background location.

I believe this is available today.
