How to get the steps from activity recognition (Combine ActivityRecognitionApi with SensorEventListener)

I am using Google ActivityRecognitionApi for Android to know when an user is walking, running or cycling. Is there a way to get the steps that the user executed while practicing each of those activities? I am doing the activity recognition on the background using an IntentService. I need to get the steps also on the background.

You will need to use StepCounter sensor to get these values.

public class StepCounterService extends Service implements SensorEventListener{

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    //Check if the stepCounter is available first.
    List<Sensor> gravSensors = mSensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL);
    for(Sensor each : gravSensors){
    //check for sensor named stepcounter in the list.
            Log.d("Sesnor_list",each.getName());
    }
    //If it's available we can retrieve the value using following code
    Sensor sensor;

    sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
    sensor = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_STEP_COUNTER);
    sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensor, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
    return START_STICKY;
}
 //An onSensorChanged event gets triggered every time new step count is detected.
  @Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {

    if(event.sensor.getType() == sensor.TYPE_STEP_COUNTER){
        Log.d("step_count = ",event.values[0]);
    }

}
}
