I have used this plugin react-native-background-timer to enable my app to run in background as well and get device location here is the sample code

BackgroundTimer.setInterval(() => {
            navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {

                this.setState({
                    startDrive: true,
                    latitude: position.coords.latitude,
                    longitude: position.coords.longitude
                });

                this.offlineHistoryManager(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
            }, (error) => {

                LocationSwitch.enableLocationService(1000, true, () => {         //
                }, () => {         //
                },);
            }, {enableHighAccuracy: false, timeout: 20000});
        }, 30000);
