Location Updates using google play services and FusedLocationProviderClient

I want to get location updates on a "background service" using latest fused location provider client.I don't want to use the location listeners and Google API Client that all are using.
I also need to use location settings Api provided by google play services to check whether location setting are disable or enable on that "background service".Please help.

if we need to use fusion location api then we need to use Google API client, For the background service it is not an issue to use it, Following is the example which I used for getting location update in background, But one more thing as Google introduces 'DOZE' mode from 6.0 so I can not give surety give update when your device in 'DOZE' mode,

You can write the code for the intentService as given below. It has been considered that since it is running in the background, we would not show the permission dialogs.
public class GetLocationService extends IntentService
implements
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
public static String TAG = GetLocationService.class.getSimpleName();
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
public GetLocationService() {
super(TAG);
}

*
* #param name Used to name the worker thread, important only for debugging.
*/
public GetLocationService(String name) {
super(name);
}

.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
} else {

}
}

You can extend the service class like
public class BackgroundLocationService extends Service implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener
You can check the full source code here BackgroundLocationService.java
For enable location settings
private void displayLocationSettingsRequest() {
GoogleApiClient googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addApi(LocationServices.API).build();
googleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(10000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(10000 / 2);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder().addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(#NonNull LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(), and check the result
// in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(context, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException ignored) {
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
break;
}
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
// Check for the integer request code originally supplied to
startResolutionForResult().
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
//startLocationUpdates();
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
displayLocationSettingsRequest();//keep asking

break;
}
break;
}
}
You can check location settings from Service and if location is off ,
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
boolean gps_enabled = false;
boolean network_enabled = false;
try {
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch(Exception ex) {}
try {
network_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch(Exception ex) {}
if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled) {
// notify user
// Either you can display a Notification(Recommended way) or you can show dialog with
dialog.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
//It needs SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission. Add this permission in Manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
}

Hi I have good understanding about location services and how we can use in it perfect way. See i'll give you idea about fused apis.
Just make sure follow the below steps. It is pretty nice and simple.
Step 1. Make this class
GoogleLocationService.java
public class GoogleLocationService {
private GoogleServicesCallbacks callbacks = new GoogleServicesCallbacks();
LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener;
Context activity;
protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
protected LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 30000;
public GoogleLocationService(Context activity, LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener) {
this.locationUpdateListener = locationUpdateListener;
this.activity = activity;
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
//Log.i(TAG, "Building GoogleApiClient");
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(activity)
.addConnectionCallbacks(callbacks)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(callbacks)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
private class GoogleServicesCallbacks implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
startLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
if (connectionResult.getErrorCode() == ConnectionResult.SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not updated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location.hasAccuracy()) {
if (location.getAccuracy() < 30) {
locationUpdateListener.updateLocation(location);
}
}
}
}
private static boolean locationEnabled(Context context) {
boolean gps_enabled = false;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
try {
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return gps_enabled;
}
private boolean servicesConnected(Context context) {
return isPackageInstalled(GooglePlayServicesUtil.GOOGLE_PLAY_STORE_PACKAGE, context);
}
private boolean isPackageInstalled(String packagename, Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
try {
pm.getPackageInfo(packagename, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
return true;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
public void startUpdates() {
/*
* Connect the client. Don't re-start any requests here; instead, wait
* for onResume()
*/
if (servicesConnected(activity)) {
if (locationEnabled(activity)) {
locationUpdateListener.canReceiveLocationUpdates();
startLocationUpdates();
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Unable to get your location.Please turn on your device Gps", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
//stop location updates
public void stopUpdates() {
stopLocationUpdates();
}
//start location updates
private void startLocationUpdates() {
if (checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, callbacks);
}
}
public void stopLocationUpdates() {
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, callbacks);
}
}
public void startGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
public void closeGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
Step2. Make this interface
LocationUpdateListener.java
public interface LocationUpdateListener {
/**
* Called immediately the service starts if the service can obtain location
*/
void canReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called immediately the service tries to start if it cannot obtain location - eg the user has disabled wireless and
*/
void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called whenever the location has changed (at least non-trivially)
* #param location
*/
void updateLocation(Location location);
/**
* Called when GoogleLocationServices detects that the device has moved to a new location.
* #param localityName The name of the locality (somewhere below street but above area).
*/
void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location);
}
Step 3. Make this Location service class
LocationService.java
public class LocationService extends Service {
private GoogleLocationService googleLocationService;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//start the handler for getting locations
//create component
updateLocation(getApplicationContext());
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
//get current location os user
private void updateLocation(Context context) {
googleLocationService = new GoogleLocationService(context, new LocationUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void canReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
#Override
public void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
//update location to our servers for tracking purpose
#Override
public void updateLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null ) {
Timber.e("updated location %1$s %2$s", location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
});
googleLocationService.startUpdates();
}
IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder();
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public LocationService getServerInstance() {
return LocationService.this;
}
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mBinder;
}
//stop location updates on stopping the service
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (googleLocationService != null) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
}
}
Edited Answer:
How to use service,
Start service in your main activity,like this
startService(new Intent(context, LocationService.class));
for stop,
stopService(new Intent(context, LocationService.class));
and declare in manifest like this,
<service
android:name=".service.location.LocationService"
android:enabled="true"></service>
Note: I have done this because i need location after killed the app.If you dont want service.Then,you can call directly below code in class where location need to be update and remove locationservice.
private GoogleLocationService googleLocationService;
googleLocationService = new GoogleLocationService(context, new LocationUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void canReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
#Override
public void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
//update location to our servers for tracking purpose
#Override
public void updateLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null ) {
Timber.e("updated location %1$s %2$s", location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
});
googleLocationService.startUpdates();
and call this onDestroy
if (googleLocationService != null) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
Remember Locationservice should be declare in manifest as well.
According to me this is the best solution.
Thanks hope this will help you

The question does not appear to be very specific. It seems like you're having trouble starting up with using location services.
The best idea would probably be checking out the Google samples (https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location) to better understand the mechanics.
I would probably start by implementing the simplest example (LocationUpdates). It uses the FusedLocationProvider and also checks if the settings are enabled, so it should fit your needs, or at least get you started.
If you really need to use a service you can check out LocationUpdatesForegroundService or LocationUpdatesPendingIntent. But I would strongly recommend to read and understand the first example before you do this.

When i am running the application the latitude and longitude is showing as 0.0, i am using android marshmallow to test this application. "http://clover.studio/2016/08/09/getting-current-location-in-android-using-location-manager/" this is the link that i have used to create the application.

Please manage required permission for marshmallow.
First you add this permission in manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
After in your activity First declare two variable like this,
private static final int REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSION = 1;
String mPermission = Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION;
After in onCreate method
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>= 23) {
if (checkSelfPermission(mPermission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{mPermission,
},
REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSION);
return;
}
else
{
*here manage your code if permission already access
}
}

onLactionChanged never called (fusedLocationApi)

I have location tracker app and there is a class, handling the location changing. On 4.2.2 device is works normally - onLocationChanged() callback react. But on other device - lollypop - same code never calls onLocationChanged(). 've tried with GPS enabled/disabled and internet enabled/disabled in all combination. Turning on/off GPS module during app runtime change nothing. I have no clue, where can i find a solution to this problem. Help please.

Service not receiving location updates

I have implemented a background service to receive location updates:
public class TestActivity extends Service implements LocationListener, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
private static String TAG = TestActivity_backup.class.getName();
private final static int CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient=null;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
if (!isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
stopSelf();
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);
// Create the LocationRequest object
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(10000).setFastestInterval(5000).setSmallestDisplacement(20);
this.buildGoogleApiClient();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
this.destination = intent.getStringExtra("DESTINATION");
LatLng latLng = intent.getParcelableExtra("LOCATION");
this.location = new Location("");
this.location.setLatitude(latLng.latitude);
this.location.setLongitude(latLng.longitude);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location){
Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this, "User location changed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this, "Location service connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Log.i(TAG, "Location services suspended. Please reconnect.");
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
//TODO
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
private boolean isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status) {
return true;
} else {
//GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, 0).show();
return false;
}
}
}
I have implemented all relevant methods.onCreate and onStartCommand are called but onConnec
ted and onLocationChanged are never ever called.If I implement an activity for location updates then its working fine.
What am I missing here?

Don't forget to add permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION depending upon Accuracy
And use this Code
public class LocationService extends Service {
private LocationListener locationListener;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(final Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(final Intent intent, final int flags, final int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
final LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
this.locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 100, 0, this.locationListener);
}
private static class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(final String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(final String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(final String provider, final int status, final Bundle extras) {
}
}
}

Here is my code that worked for me!
Don't forget to add mgoogleApiClient.connect() in onCreate()
and then take a look at the onConnected Method of googleapiClient - here I've created the the LocationRequest with
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
googleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
and then for testing I used
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);
for the initial Request.
If you are using emulator don't forget to telnet localhost 5543 (to your emulator) and then use the command geo fix to set the initial location.
You can test it with geofixing to another location then the onLocationChanged Methode should be called ...
