I'm about to implement a feature with geofences and before I get any serious work done, I need to know whether geofences remain active after the first transition.

The core of the feature is:

every time I'm within x meters of point P (call this Area A), I want Action B to occur.

What I need to know is

  • Do I just have to add a geofence with Geofence.NEVER_EXPIRE and rest assured that I will get a PendingIntent every time I enter the specified area regardless of elapsed time, reboots, etc

OR

  • Do I have to re-register this geofence once I exit Area A in order to get notified the next time I enter Area A?

I'm hoping that the former is the case
