Solution 1:

You should use Service, you can choose that the service wil keep running even after your app was closed.

YET if the device is low on resources it might close your service. you can use FOREGROUND service if you want to minimize the chance android will close your service. inside the service use LocationManager / FusedLocation to get the location every X time. you set it up with LocationListener so everytime it set onLocationChanged you upload to firebase.
