I think Google already does that. There's a Google Map process which runs on Android in the background. It comes back even if you turn it off.

At least Google's process has a bit more benefit than Facebook's: you can see the location data they collect from your phone by turning on Latitude and its history app. They also use this data to improve traffic and map data and (if you have WiFi on) to improve their coarse location data.
