Mapbox disabled user location tracking on camera pan

I have recently been trying to find a way to allow users to go from being locked into MyLocationTracking.TRACKING_FOLLOW to MyLocationTracking.TRACKING_NONE if they try to pan the camera.

In essence I am hoping to implement functionality similar to Google Maps "Free roam" and "Recenter" features. However I have had a bit of trouble detecting when the user is attempting to pan the camera when in TRACKING_FOLLOW mode.

I have tried using mapboxMap.getTrackingSettings().setDismissLocationTrackingOnGesture(true); however it seems that using this the location tracking is disabled as soon as I set the location tracking to TRACKING_FOLLOW - without any user input (Perhaps the auto-rotation from using TRACKING_FOLLOW is triggering gestures). I also assume that this disables location tracking on all gestures zoom, rotation, panning, etc - rather than just when the user starts panning the camera.

I am sure that I am missing something very obvious but I was wondering if anyone who has an idea on how to achieve this functionality could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

If you want to determine if the user is in TRACKING_FOLLOW mode or not, you can run a check inside an onMapScroll listener and if they aren't in tracking then display your "recenter" button. Does this answer your question or am I not understanding the issue correctly?
