Android Apparel: geofence - ApiException: 1000

I am creating an Android app for Android Wear . To save battery, I'm trying to use Geofences to track the entry or exit of a location. But I can’t make it work.

First of all, I'm not sure if Geofences are supported on Android Wear? (Standalone?) I have a Huawei 2 LTE watch that has a GPS antenna, and I already have FusedLocationClient running, so I know that GPS works. I also got my geo code that works on the phone without any problems.

When I run the code, I get the following exception:

com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 1000:

I found in the Google API documentation what this means: GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLEwhich does not give me more information.

This is the service I wrote to get started and create geofence:

public class GeofencingService extends Service implements OnSuccessListener, OnFailureListener {

    private static final String TAG = "GeofencingService";
    private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;

    private GeofencingClient mGeofencingClient;
    private List<Geofence> mGeofenceList;
    private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        mGeofencingClient = LocationServices.getGeofencingClient(this);
        mGeofenceList = new ArrayList<>();
        createGeofences();
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        showNofification();
        setupGeofence();
        return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mNotificationManager.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
    }

    private PendingIntent getGeofencePendingIntent()
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeofenceBroadcastReceiver.class);
        return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    }

    private GeofencingRequest getGeofencingRequest() {
        GeofencingRequest.Builder builder = new GeofencingRequest.Builder();

        // The INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER flag indicates that geofencing service should trigger a
        // GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER notification when the geofence is added and if the device
        // is already inside that geofence.
        builder.setInitialTrigger(INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER | INITIAL_TRIGGER_EXIT);

        // Add the geofences to be monitored by geofencing service.
        builder.addGeofences(mGeofenceList);

        // Return a GeofencingRequest.
        return builder.build();
    }

    private void setupGeofence()
    {
        try{
            Log.i(TAG, "Setting up geofences...");
            mGeofencingClient.addGeofences(getGeofencingRequest(), getGeofencePendingIntent()).addOnSuccessListener(this).addOnFailureListener(this);
        } catch (SecurityException ex)
        {
            Log.d(TAG, "Exception: " + ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

    private void createGeofences()
    {
        Log.i(TAG, "Creating geofence...");
        mGeofenceList.add(new Geofence.Builder()
                // Set the request ID of the geofence. This is a string to identify this
                // geofence.
                .setRequestId("Test1")
                // Set the circular region of this geofence.
                .setCircularRegion(
                        50.03535,
                        4.33139,
                        100
                )
                .setExpirationDuration(NEVER_EXPIRE)
                // Set the transition types of interest. Alerts are only generated for these
                // transition. We track entry and exit transitions in this sample.
                .setTransitionTypes(GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER | GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)
                // Create the geofence.
                .build());
    }

    private void showNofification()
    {
        Intent appIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, appIntent, 0);
