Description

Tracking doesn't work if notifications are not allowed.
If you don't allow app to push notifications, the GPS freezes when tracking is started and remains frozen when tracking is stopped.
It starts to update the position when the app is reopened.

Notes for the video:
in reality I'm moving all the time

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Reproduce with app notifications disabled, then start tracking and stopping while moving; compare the GPS behavior before and after reopening the app. Done means location updates continue during tracking and after tracking stops without requiring an app restart.
