toasts don't appear while service is running

I have an android service and I'd like to do the following:
When clicking a button, I start this service, the toast in the onCreate() method always appears but after that I cannot see the longitude-latitude popping up. My main goal is to use this longitude-latitude couple in more activities.
How can I achieve this?
I implemented GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location .LocationListener because I had to wait 20-30 seconds to get the coordinates. The following code works in an activity, but not as a service.
Thanks!

It is because you are working on Service.
Try this:
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
getString(R.string.string_id),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});

Any UI component can't be accessed from background thread.
If need be arise use handler and sen msg to UI thread and update UI components.

Map fragment on Navigation Drawer cant access current location

I can't access my current location with this. I don't know what is the problem but. Every time I go to the map fragment on my navigation bar I can't see my current location.
Here is my code..
LanlordMapFragment.java
public class LanlordMapFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
public LanlordMapFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_lanlord_map, container, false);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
getActivity().setTitle("MAP");
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map1);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(0, 0)).title("My Location"));
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
return;
}
}
}

I've also experienced such type of problem:
Please, try to add the piece of code to your public View onCreateView(..){}
MapView m = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.source);
m.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

//try this code
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onMapClick(LatLng latLng)
{
}
});
GetCurrentLocation location = new GetCurrentLocation(getActivity(), new GeocodingNotifier<Location>()
{
#Override
public void GeocodingDetails(Location geocodeLatLng) {
if (geocodeLatLng != null) {
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(geocodeLatLng.getLatitude(), geocodeLatLng.getLongitude()), 14f));
}
else {
// shaow erroe message
}
}
});

Retrieving current location in android of API Level 19 to 22

I use the code below in my project to retrieve the current location of the user. However, this seems to work on my test devices of API Level 23, but does not work on my test devices of API levels 19 to 22. The request for a location will return null and therefor place me at coordinates 0,0..
How can i get correct coordinates for API levels 19 to 22?

Location only updating TextView when app is out of focus

The reason why you are not getting the location updated in textview is because your code doesn't have a way for the service to communicate back to the activity.
If you want to obtain location only when the activity is in foreground don't use Service and please look into this google's example for obtaining location and updating on a TextView using fused location provider.
I am not sure why you are using a Service.Use Service only when you want to continuously fetch the location even when the app is running background.
For this use any one of the method mentioned here to inform the activity that a new location has been obtained.LocalBroadcast would be your best bet. Anyway explore the best possible solution that suits your usecase in the previous link.

In another activity, I am creating an object of this class and calling getUserCurrentLocation(this,getApplicationContext()) function.
Can anybody suggest me what I am doing wrong here?
Also, it is not correct code, but my point is why it is not reaching inside any callback functions so that I can modify my logic as per my requirements.
Also, I found a similar question, but it has not been answered yet.
