 - **Display a toast:** Notify the user when a geofencing event has occurred in the background.
 - **Refresh geofence binding:** Refresh the binding on resume and after removal of a geofence. Note that removal requires subscribing to removal events if a geofence is set as single use or a duration is set.
 - **Request access to the user's location:** Request access to the user's location using the RequestAccessAsync method. Important: call the RequestAccessAsync before accessing the user's location. At that time, your app must be in the foreground and RequestAccessAsync must be called from the UI thread. Until the user grants your app permission to their location, your app can't access location data.
