   For the record, I'm having a quick scan through Android Location documentation and it doesn't look like they have a distance filter concept either. Their [battery saving recommendations](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/battery) makes no mention of a distance filter and their API reference seems to lack a distance filter setting. So I'm not sure if this is even possible on Android. Distance filter might be an iOS concept only.
   
   Personally I think the distanceFilter for iOS should be configurable. The defaults can be left as is if not explicitly set by the app. For android, the API/config properties would have to be ignored as Android seems to have a different philosophy on achieving conservative battery status when using geolocation.
