Thinking back, I seem to remember that in order to receive notifications the app had to be running in the background while phone location was turned on, giving LG precise location tracking all the time. Is that no longer the case?

I don't think so. I've had the notifications off though so I'm not 100%. I turned them back on so I'll know soon enough.
