Flutter local notifications triggered by GPS location

Question

QQ:I have set up local notifications in my flutter app that are triggered at a certain time. However, now I would also like to add notification for when the device is taken 1km within a certain local. Any help or direction would be helpful. I have spent countless hours searching for information and guidance but have found nothing. Maybe flutter doesn’t have this capability.

Solution

You can use Geolocator package: Geolocator

First save your currentLocation using getCurrentPosition method.

It has getPositionStream method which gives you new position whenever our position changes.

Whenever location change use distanceBetween method to find the distance between them. The method returns the distance in meteres.

Whenever distance gets more than 1000m trigger notification.
