Basically, you set minTime and minDistance along with other parameters for requestLocationUpdates.
minTime - is the minimum time that android will take to call location change handler.
minDistance - is the minimum distance that android will wait for before it calls the location change handler.
It is usually recommended to keep the minTime (also minDistance) as high as possible to save the power source (battery charge).
As developers (or product owner) we should decide on the minimum triggering factor based on our needs.
