What have you tried? There are tons of examples on the Internet with sample code. Or you could have a look at http://developer.android.com/training/location/index.html — David Wasser, Jul 15 '13 at 10:49

You can try this, it works for me:

public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
 
    private final Context mContext;
 
    // flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
 
    // flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
 
    // flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;
 
    Location location; // location
    double latitude; // latitude
    double longitude; // longitude
 
    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters
 
    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute
 
    // Declaring a Location Manager
    protected LocationManager locationManager;
 
    public GPSTracker(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;
        getLocation();
    }
 
    public Location getLocation() {
        try {
            locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                    .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
 
            // getting GPS status
            isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
 
            // getting network status
            isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
 
            if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
                // no network provider is enabled
            } else {
                this.canGetLocation = true;
                // First get location from Network Provider
                if (isNetworkEnabled) {
                    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                            LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                            MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                            MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                    Log.d("Network", "Network");
                    if (locationManager != null) {
                        location = locationManager
                                .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                        if (location != null) {
                            latitude = location.getLatitude();
                            longitude = location.getLongitude();
                        }
                    }
                }
                // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
                if (isGPSEnabled) {

                        Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
                        if (locationManager != null) {
                            location = locationManager
                                    .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                            if (location != null) {

    }
 
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        return null;
    }
 
}

Used it this way:

gps = new GPSTracker(PromotionActivity.this);

// check if GPS enabled     
if(gps.canGetLocation()){
    double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
    double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
}else{
// can't get location
// GPS or Network is not enabled
// Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
    gps.showSettingsAlert();    
}

my application needs correct location even if phone has moved from one place to another , i don't want to use lastLocation .as am a novice in this can u help me in this. — Sangeeta Rawat, Jul 16 '13 at 05:04
the function above actually checks in this manner. first check with GPS(most accurate), if fail, check with Network provider, else get last known location. — Riandy, Jul 16 '13 at 05:30
you can customize the update min distance and time by changing the constant variables MIN_DISTANCE CHANGE FOR UPDATES and MIN TIME BW UPDATES — Riandy, Jul 16 '13 at 05:31
ok one more thing I want to add progress bar while GPS is turning on from settings.. @Riandy — Sangeeta Rawat, Jul 16 '13 at 05:32
Why do you want a progress bar while turning on GPS? turning on GPS is instant and showing progress bar will be redundant. Meanwhile you can show progress bar when trying to fetch location from GPS, that will be more meaningful — Riandy, Jul 16 '13 at 05:36
ok u can help me to set progress bar while fetching location...:-) @riandy — Sangeeta Rawat, Jul 16 '13 at 08:19
I Want run this service in background and this service is also work if application is kill. how i can do this? — Naimish B. Makwana, Dec 07 '15 at 13:24

Well, you have GPS Provider and Network Provider.

Without internet you can use only GPS Provider

Here is snippets of code:

private final float MIN_DISTANCE = 6; // 6 meters

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) 
                          m_context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.addGpsStatusListener(this);


LocationListener listener = this;   

    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates
           (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, MIN_DISTANCE, listener);

...

      public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    /* your code  */
}
