I think you have your "isMinimized()" case reversed.  

if (Display.getInstance().isMinimized()) {
            Display.getInstance().callSerially(() -> {
                Dialog.show("Welcome", "Thanks for arriving", "OK", null);
            });
        } else {
            LocalNotification ln = new LocalNotification();
            ln.setId("LnMessage");
            ln.setAlertTitle("Welcome");
            ln.setAlertBody("Thanks for arriving!");
            try {
                Display.getInstance().scheduleLocalNotification(ln, 10, LocalNotification.REPEAT_NONE);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                Alert.show(ex.getMessage());
            }
            
        }

You're trying to show a dialog when the app is minimized, and you're trying to send a local notification when it is not minimized.

Geofence isn't implemented in the simulator.  Only on iOS and Android.

It was added in October 2015, so it would have been included with Codename One 3.3 and later.

Geofence, like most background functionality, can be tricky to debug.  You'll want to use DDMS to debug and see where your app is going wrong.

It has been a while since I've worked with Geofence on Android.  The Android docs for the GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE status code says:

public static final int GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE

Geofence service is not available now. Typically this is because the user turned off location access in settings > location access.

Constant Value: 1000


So check to make sure that you haven't turned off location access.

Also check that the app includes the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

(Open the app's manifest and make sure that permission is there, if it isn't there, then you should add it using the android.xpermissions build hint.

Let me know if it's not there, as I may need to modify the build server to automatically add it when geofence is used.

Best regards

Steve

FYI: "Nothing is working" is not a very helpful problem description.

I just fired up a quick test with Geofencing on Android 6 (Nexus 5) to make sure it is working.  It appeared to be working OK.

I used mock locations to do the testing.  (See this SO comment for instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29414735/2935174)

Here is the test app:


I didn't have to add any special build hints, except the MOCK_LOCATION permission as described in that SO comment to get mock locations working.

Geofence should work as far back as 2.2.   Since the error that you cite is the "Geofence not available" error, you should look there.
