Location related application management

An apparatus for use by a communication element, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor;
• wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least:
• receive, after conducting a processing for providing location information in a communication network, an application identification indication indicating at least one location area where location information of the communication element is of relevance for a processing conducted by at least one application, wherein the application identification indication includes at least one of an identification of at least one location area or zone in the location area and operating instructions for the communication element when a location change concerns at least one location area or zone in the location area,
• store the application identification indication for usage in a processing related to a location change of the communication element,
• determine, when conducting a processing related to a location change of the communication element, that the location change concerns a location indicated in the stored application identification indication, wherein the determining comprises the communication element comparing the identification of the at least one location area or zone in the location area with an identification of a location being entered or exited by the communication element, and
• execute, in response to determining that the location change concerns the location indicated in the stored application identification indication, a processing for informing at least one application related to the application identification indication about the location change, wherein the processing is also executed when the location change is conducted in an idle state of the communication element.
