Question

How does GeoCoordinateWatcher.PositionChaged event work inside a periodic task? If I have a background agent that runs every one hour. Code is

 protected override void OnInvoke(ScheduledTask task)
 {
   GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new    
   GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.Default);
   watcher.MovementThreshold = 100;
   watcher.PositionChanged += _watcher_PositionChanged;
   watcher.Start();
  }

If initially the device was at postion A and device travelled more than 100m within the next hour, then after 1 hour when the onInvoke() is called will _watcher_PositionChanged get fired?

Answer 1

No.
The next time OnInvoke is called, you instantiate a new GeoCoordinateWatcher and it will only raise the PositionChanged event from that moment on. It has no clue where it has been earlier, it has just been born.

You will need to save your coordinate and refer to it on every OnInvoke call and manually call your PositionChanged code if needed.
