Is the Google Play Services component always determining the user's current activity, or only when an app is connected to receive activity updates? The documentation isn't really clear about this, it just says that it has a minimal battery impact in general. I'd like to know if an app constantly querying the user's current activity (with a 2-minute interval, for example) would put any additional strain on the user's battery or not.
