I just made a demo for the Geo Fencing in android as per the documentation but here Geo Fencing Broadcast Receiver is not calling when I go out from the fence area or entered into it.
Guys look the code and try to catch the issue.
Thanks Kingo

you are not handling the exception (bad idea, generally). Your variablemGeofenceRequester
goes out of scope almost immediately...are you sure you want that to happen? – Disaccredit
