Background service stops after 20 sec after destroy app in Android 10 java

i have an app that detects the location in the background. In the devices with android 9 (api 28) or lower it works, but in android 10 it stops after 20 sec

there is some code

how i call the service

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GoogleService.class);
startService(intent);

main activity

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(GoogleService.str_receiver));

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(GoogleService.str_receiver));
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(GoogleService.str_receiver));
    }

google service

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        mTimer = new Timer();
        mTimer.schedule(new TimerTaskToGetLocation(), 5, notify_interval);
        intent = new Intent(str_receiver);
    }

As CommonsWare noted, running a background service like this will result in the system killing it after the user leaves your app on newer versions of Android.

Depending on the exact characteristics of how you're trying to do this, you should either use WorkManager (if this is deferrable and not needed more than every 15 minutes or so) or a foreground service with a notification (if you need to query constantly). See this guide from the Android documentation for more information on your options here.
