He's referring to a Service with an ongoing notification so the user can
see that your app is running and, more importantly for you, so the Android
system keeps your app's process alive.

You probably want two things: a service that will do the work and an
Activity that will be the UI.
When you start you app, you have start option. If you hit start, you create
and bind to the service to get the location updates. If your activity is
closed or sent to the background, you unbind and the service continues to
run with a foreground notification. If your activity is resumed, you
re-bind to the service. When the user hits stop, you stop the service.
