I'm registering geofences using the GeofencingClient and the addGeofences method with a pendingIntent to an IntentService that is handling geofence transitions.

I was wondering though, since it was mentioned within several resources as the preferred way now, how you'd do something like that based on Android's Work Manager instead of a Service with an ongoing notification? public class TrackerService
