Its possible, but you'll have to jump through a few hoops. The only way to send location updates when killed is by using Region Monitoring (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/RegionMonitoring/RegionMonitoring.html). When setup up, your app would be opened by the OS then you have a few seconds to process information before the app is killed. Its enough time to send location updates to your server/local storage. There is also another API called CLVisit, however, its completely controlled by the operating system and not reliable.
