I am trying to get the location when the app in on background. I succeeded on Android but not on iOS. My code is:

var Observable = require("FuseJS/Observable");
var GeoLocation = require("FuseJS/GeoLocation");
var Timer = require("FuseJS/Timer");

var TimmerGPS;
function StartGPS() {
    TimmerGPS = Timer.create(function() {
        GeoLocation.getLocation(25000).then(function(location) {
           console.log(JSON.stringify(location));

           //Do something with the location
        }).catch(function(fail) {
            console.log("getLocation fail " + fail);
        });
    }, 30000, true);
}
function StopGPS() {
    Timer.delete(TimmerGPS);
}
module.exports = {
    StartGPS: StartGPS,
    StopGPS: StopGPS
};

Any idea how can I do this on iOS?
When I try on iOS the Timer Pause when the app is on background
