Isn't Geofencing DESIGNED to work in background?

I have been struggling a lot to get geofencing working on Android.
In my mind, geofencing was created to be able to send notifications when an app runs in the background and the user crosses a fence. Doesn't it work like this on Android? It does on iOS...
But whatever I do (and I followed Google samples and advice) I can't get it to work in the background. It always stops at some point whatever I do...
And my onReceive is only called when the app is running.
HELP! Any advice as to what to do?

Thank you!!
