    First check in your AndroidManifest.xml that Background permission exists or not, if it is there then remove it, and if it is not there so it means that some of your packages are using it. so you have to remove it manually like this:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"
tools:node="remove"/>

    it’s good to add background location disclaimer alert to the user if click ok then start location in the background if it’s really crucial to the app functionality.otherwise , just delete ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION from android manifest

    i removed in my AndroidManifest.xml but some of my packages contains android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission,

    Solution for this,

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"
                 tools:node="remove"/>

    above tools:node="remove" will remove from third party packages permissions

    also add xmlns:tools="schemas.android.com/tools" in your <manifest> in AndroidManifest.xml file it should be like this

    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="schemas.android.com/tools" 
    package="yourpackagename">
