I am working on one application that uses Adobe Analytics and I send language settings via Locale.getDefault().getLanguage() method. I have received a warning from Google Play service that I am using the location of user and I couldn't find anything else except this one. Is it possible that this method is using user's location?

The Realwear HMT device mentions that it supports Assisted GPS. The device does not have google play service installed. There are no samples available for GPS on their Github.
How do I access the location on the device?
Accessing the location services on the HMT-1 is done via the Location Manager, which is standard Android functionality. Implementation wise, it is accomplished exactly the same as any other Android device, the only difference comes when optimizing the application for voice control. The correct permissions must be added to the manifest, but Google Play Services is not required for GPS/AGPS to function.
On the HMT, go to My Programs>'Settings'>'Page Down'>'Location'>'Mode', then say 'High Accuracy'>'Agree' to select this mode.

I have built an app that triggers geofences defined in the app. But after a restart, it requires me to open Maps for obtaining the current location for it to generate the notification.
Can't post the code due to security reasons. Can someone tell me a way to do whatever Google Maps is doing to do with my app during start up.
Ours is a financial app and to curb forgeries we wanted to access users location history from our android app.
The purpose behind this is if the user is requesting the service from a place where he hasn't been often or never been there, we would flag them or ignore them or implement another layer of security.
I have searched and found that google maps maintains location history and google plus may have an undocumented API also.
Please suggest how to get access to location history of device.
That's not possible unless you keep track of the location history yourself.
I have a service which receives locations through registering a LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates.
But there have been some issues on some phones.
When battery runs low, the network location provider stops sending location fixes (this problem is addressed in this SO question). It's not a only a problem with my app but also the other apps just stop receiving locations.
Even when the phone is recharged the problem persists until the full reboot.
However, I found out (and someone also mentioned it in the SO question above) that Google Maps still keeps receiving location updates - when I open Google Maps app it shows the correct location and updates.
So I was thinking about a workaround of using locations from Google Maps API. I have absolutely no experience with the Maps API, but it seems that it needs a proper GUI (Activity) application to be used with. Or am I wrong? Is there a possibility to use Google Maps API to receive locations even within the Service?
Given some extensive testing from a reliable source, I believe that you might want to consider using the FusedLocationProvider supplied with Google Play Services. It seems to take the headache out of choosing the appropriate power criteria and so on.
Be aware that this will require that the user must have Google Play installed on their device, so Kindles and the like will be out of the picture. It also requires a minimum of Android 2.2.
Some more information about the location services provided by Google Play Services can be found here.
I am developing an application,I would like publish my application in android market. I want to find what are the user using my application and his location point out in Google map,How to find my user for my application,How to possible?
Thanks all
You need a server, which will collect the information from your app. And the app after installation will send the location info( if it is available ) through internet to your server. After you have the location info, you will be able to put the marks on google maps.
