title: Can Flutter application function in the background?
body: <p>I am new to flutter.</p>
  <p>I want to build a map application that shows collectable items on a map. When the users are near the item they can collect them. I have to make call to server to indicate that user collect the item.</p>
  <p>I understand the application will function when it is in the foreground. But if the application is in the background can it perform these functions? For example: update users location, get items based on the location, collect items etc.</p>
  <p>Does flutter can perform these functions normally if it is in the background or we have to create say some service type of application to do this?</p>
  <p>I appreciate any advice regarding this.</p>
