Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 49.0.5
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

I am trying to build a transportation mobile app. I have a component map.js in which i am calling startLocationUpdatesAsync with BACKGROUND_LOCATION_FETCH task which is defined in app.js. I need the data that TaskManager has returned (location coordinates) inside my map.js. I am not able to use useState as I have to define task out of App function and also unable to use redux hooks to dispatch data. How can i send this data from app.js to map.js ? Thank you.

(I have tried defining TaskManager in my map.js and it most of the times returns this error TaskManager: Task "BACKGROUND_LOCATION_FETCH" has been executed but looks like it is not defined. Please make sure that "TaskManager.defineTask" is called during initialization phase.)
