Re: [geolocation-sensor] Support geolocation (especially geofencing) in the "background" (#22)

We are switching our strategy from PWA to native apps because support for background geofencing is not available. 
Our company yupwego offers an insurance which optimizes prices and coverage level based on the coutry you are currently travelling in. We started with a web app hoping to be able to switch to PWA if this feature became available. 
Unfortunately it isn't and we are getting requests for users to improve usability for our service:
* detect country changes without having to go back on the website to click a bouton, 
* detect that they are back in their home country and automaticall stop the insurance service
We haven't been able to find a way to do this with the current PWA capabilities.

I understand it is a hard problem especially with regards to users privacy and I cheer for the people who are still working on this.
