LocationManager | API reference | Android Developers

public class LocationManager
extends Object

This class provides access to the system location services. These services allow applications to obtain periodic updates of the device's geographical location, or to be notified when the device enters the proximity of a given geographical location.

Unless otherwise noted, all Location API methods require the Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions. If your application only has the coarse permission then providers will still return location results, but the exact location will be obfuscated to a coarse level of accuracy.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_LOCATION feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Standard name of the GNSS location provider.

If present, this provider determines location using GNSS satellites. The responsiveness and accuracy of location fixes may depend on GNSS signal conditions.

Locations returned from this provider are with respect to the primary GNSS antenna position within the device. getGnssAntennaInfos() may be used to determine the GNSS antenna position with respect to the Android Coordinate System, and convert between them if necessary. This is generally only necessary for high accuracy applications.

Constant Value: "flushComplete"

KEY_LOCATIONS

public static final String KEY_LOCATIONS

Key used for an extra holding a array of Locations when a location change is sent using a PendingIntent. This key will only be present if the location change includes multiple (ie, batched) locations, otherwise only KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED will be present. Use Intent.getParcelableArrayExtra(String) to retrieve the locations.

The array of locations will never be empty, and will ordered from earliest location to latest location, the same as with LocationListener.onLocationChanged(List).

Constant Value: "locations"

KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED

public static final String KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED

Key used for an extra holding a Location value when a location change is sent using a PendingIntent.

A special location provider for receiving locations without actively initiating a location fix. This location provider is always present.

This provider can be used to passively receive location updates when other applications or services request them without actually requesting the locations yourself. This provider will only return locations generated by other providers.

Constant Value: "passive"

PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION

public static final String PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION

Broadcast intent action when the set of enabled location providers changes. To check the status of a provider, use isProviderEnabled(java.lang.String). From Android Q and above, will include a string intent extra, EXTRA_PROVIDER_NAME, with the name of the provider whose state has changed. From Android R and above, will include a boolean intent extra, EXTRA_PROVIDER_ENABLED, with the enabled state of the provider.

Constant Value: "android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED"

Public methods

addNmeaListener

public boolean addNmeaListener (Executor executor, 
                OnNmeaMessageListener listener)

Adds an NMEA listener. GNSS NMEA information will only be received while the GPS_PROVIDER is enabled, and while the client app is in the foreground.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
`executor`	`Executor`: the executor that the listener runs on. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`listener`	`OnNmeaMessageListener`: the listener to register. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` always

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if executor is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if listener is null
`SecurityException`	if the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is not present

addProximityAlert

public void addProximityAlert (double latitude, 
                double longitude, 
                float radius, 
                long expiration, 
                PendingIntent pendingIntent)

Sets a proximity alert for the location given by the position (latitude, longitude) and the given radius.

When the device detects that it has entered or exited the area surrounding the location, the given PendingIntent will be fired.

The fired intent will have a boolean extra added with key KEY_PROXIMITY_ENTERING. If the value is true, the device is entering the proximity region; if false, it is exiting.

Due to the approximate nature of position estimation, if the device passes through the given area briefly, it is possible that no Intent will be fired. Similarly, an intent could be fired if the device passes very close to the given area but does not actually enter it.

Before API version 17, this method could be used with Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. From API version 17 and onwards, this method requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
`latitude`	`double`: the latitude of the central point of the alert region
`longitude`	`double`: the longitude of the central point of the alert region
`radius`	`float`: the radius of the central point of the alert region in meters
`expiration`	`long`: expiration realtime for this proximity alert in milliseconds, or -1 to indicate no expiration
`pendingIntent`	`PendingIntent`: a `PendingIntent` that will sent when entry to or exit from the alert region is detected. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`SecurityException`	if `Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` permission is not present

addTestProvider

public void addTestProvider (String provider, 
                ProviderProperties properties, 
                Set<String> extraAttributionTags)

Creates a test location provider and adds it to the set of active providers. This provider will replace any provider with the same name that exists prior to this call.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: the provider name. This value cannot be `null`.
`properties`	`ProviderProperties`: the provider properties. This value cannot be `null`.
`extraAttributionTags`	`Set`: additional attribution tags associated with this provider. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if provider is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if properties is null
`SecurityException`	if `mock location app op` is not set to `allowed` for your app.

public void clearTestProviderLocation (String provider)

This method was deprecated in API level 29.
This method has always been a no-op, and may be removed in the future.

Does nothing.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: This value cannot be `null`.

clearTestProviderStatus

public void clearTestProviderStatus (String provider)

This method was deprecated in API level 29.
This method has no effect.

This method has no effect as provider status has been deprecated and is no longer supported.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: This value cannot be `null`.

getAllProviders

public List<String> getAllProviders ()

Returns a list of the names of all available location providers. All providers are returned, including those that are currently disabled.

Returns
`List<String>`	list of provider names. This value cannot be `null`.

getBestProvider

public String getBestProvider (Criteria criteria, 
                boolean enabledOnly)

This method was deprecated in API level 34.
Criteria based APIs are deprecated, prefer to select a provider explicitly.

Returns the name of the provider that best meets the given criteria. Only providers that are permitted to be accessed by the caller will be returned. If several providers meet the criteria, the one with the best accuracy is returned. If no provider meets the criteria, the criteria are loosened in the following order:

power requirement
accuracy
bearing
speed
altitude

Note that the requirement on monetary cost is not removed in this process.

Parameters
`criteria`	`Criteria`: the criteria that need to be matched. This value cannot be `null`.
`enabledOnly`	`boolean`: if true then only enabled providers are included

Returns
`String`	name of the provider that best matches the criteria, or null if none match

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if criteria is null

getCurrentLocation

public void getCurrentLocation (String provider, 
                LocationRequest locationRequest, 
                CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, 
                Executor executor, 
                Consumer<Location> consumer)

Asynchronously returns a single current location fix from the given provider based on the given LocationRequest. This may activate sensors in order to compute a new location, unlike getLastKnownLocation(java.lang.String), which will only return a cached fix if available. The given callback will be invoked once and only once, either with a valid location or with a null location if the provider was unable to generate a valid location.

A client may supply an optional CancellationSignal. If this is used to cancel the operation, no callback should be expected after the cancellation.

This method may return locations from the very recent past (on the order of several seconds), but will never return older locations (for example, several minutes old or older). Clients may rely upon the guarantee that if this method returns a location, it will represent the best estimation of the location of the device in the present moment.

Clients calling this method from the background may notice that the method fails to determine a valid location fix more often than while in the foreground. Background applications may be throttled in their location accesses to some degree. The given location request may be used to provide hints on how a fresh location is computed if necessary. In particular LocationRequest.getDurationMillis() can be used to provide maximum duration allowed before failing. The system will always cap the maximum amount of time a request for current location may run to some reasonable value (less than a minute for example) before the request is failed.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: a provider listed by `getAllProviders()` This value cannot be `null`.
`locationRequest`	`LocationRequest`: the location request containing location parameters. This value cannot be `null`.
`cancellationSignal`	`CancellationSignal`: an optional signal that allows for cancelling this call. This value may be `null`.
`executor`	`Executor`: the callback will take place on this `Executor` This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`consumer`	`Consumer`: the callback invoked with either a `Location` or null

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if provider is null or doesn't exist
`IllegalArgumentException`	if executor is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if consumer is null
`SecurityException`	if no suitable permission is present

This method was deprecated in API level 24.
GpsStatus APIs are deprecated, use GnssStatus APIs instead. No longer supported in apps targeting S and above.

Retrieves information about the current status of the GPS engine. This should only be called from within the GpsStatus.Listener.onGpsStatusChanged callback to ensure that the data is copied atomically. The caller may either pass in an existing GpsStatus object to be overwritten, or pass null to create a new GpsStatus object.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
`status`	`GpsStatus`: object containing GPS status details, or null.

Returns
`GpsStatus`	status object containing updated GPS status.

getProvider

public LocationProvider getProvider (String provider)

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
This method has no way to indicate that a provider's properties are unknown, and so may return incorrect results on rare occasions. Use getProviderProperties(java.lang.String) instead.

Returns the information about the location provider with the given name, or null if no provider exists by that name.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: a provider listed by `getAllProviders()` This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`LocationProvider`	location provider information, or null if provider does not exist

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if provider is null

getProviderProperties

public ProviderProperties getProviderProperties (String provider)

Returns the properties of the given provider, or null if the properties are currently unknown. Provider properties may change over time, although this is discouraged, and should be rare. The most common transition is when provider properties go from being unknown to known, which is most common near boot time.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: a provider listed by `getAllProviders()` This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`ProviderProperties`	location provider properties, or null if properties are currently unknown

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if provider is null or does not exist

getProviders

public List<String> getProviders (boolean enabledOnly)

Returns a list of the names of available location providers. If enabledOnly is false, this is functionally the same as getAllProviders().

Parameters
`enabledOnly`	`boolean`: if true then only enabled providers are included

Returns
`List<String>`	list of provider names. This value cannot be `null`.

getProviders

public List<String> getProviders (Criteria criteria, 
                boolean enabledOnly)

This method was deprecated in API level 34.
Criteria based APIs are deprecated, prefer to select a provider explicitly.

Returns a list of the names of available location providers that satisfy the given criteria.

Parameters
`criteria`	`Criteria`: the criteria that providers must match. This value cannot be `null`.
`enabledOnly`	`boolean`: if true then only enabled providers are included

Returns
`List<String>`	list of provider names. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if criteria is null

hasProvider

public boolean hasProvider (String provider)

Returns true if the given location provider exists on this device, irrespective of whether it is currently enabled or not.

Parameters
`provider`	`String`: a potential location provider. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the location provider exists, false otherwise

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if provider is null

isLocationEnabled

public boolean isLocationEnabled ()

Returns the current enabled/disabled state of location. To listen for changes, see MODE_CHANGED_ACTION.

Returns
`boolean`	true if location is enabled and false if location is disabled.

registerAntennaInfoListener

public boolean registerAntennaInfoListener (Executor executor, 
                GnssAntennaInfo.Listener listener)

Registers a GNSS antenna info listener that will receive all changes to antenna info. Use getGnssAntennaInfos() to get current antenna info.

Not all GNSS chipsets support antenna info updates, see getGnssCapabilities(). If unsupported, the listener will never be invoked.

Prior to Android S, this requires the Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.

Parameters
`executor`	`Executor`: the executor that the listener runs on. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`listener`	`GnssAntennaInfo.Listener`: the listener to register. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` always

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if executor is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if listener is null

registerGnssMeasurementsCallback

public boolean registerGnssMeasurementsCallback (Executor executor, 
                GnssMeasurementsEvent.Callback callback)

Registers a GNSS measurements callback. GNSS measurements information will only be received while the GPS_PROVIDER is enabled, and while the client app is in the foreground.

Not all GNSS chipsets support measurements updates, see getGnssCapabilities().

On Android R devices that have not yet upgraded to Android R QPR1, using this API will cause unavoidable crashes in the client application when GNSS measurements are received. If a client needs to receive GNSS measurements on Android R devices that have not been upgraded to QPR1, clients are instead encouraged to use LocationManagerCompat.registerGnssMeasurementsCallback() from the compat libraries instead to avoid this crash.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
`executor`	`Executor`: the executor that the callback runs on. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `Context.getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
`callback`	`GnssMeasurementsEvent.Callback`: the callback to register. This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` always

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if executor is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if callback is null
`SecurityException`	if the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is not present

requestLocationUpdates

public void requestLocationUpdates (String provider, 
                LocationRequest locationRequest, 
                Executor executor, 
                LocationListener listener)

Register for location updates from the specified provider, using a LocationRequest, and a callback on the specified Executor.

Only one request can be registered for each unique listener/provider pair, so any subsequent requests with the same provider and listener will overwrite all associated arguments. The same listener may be used across multiple providers with different requests for each provider.

It may take some time to receive the first location update depending on the conditions the device finds itself in. In order to take advantage of cached locations, application may consider using getLastKnownLocation(java.lang.String) or getCurrentLocation(java.lang.String, android.location.LocationRequest, android.os.CancellationSignal, java.util.concurrent.Executor, java.util.function.Consumer) instead.

See LocationRequest documentation for an explanation of various request parameters and how they can affect the received locations.

If your application wants to passively observe location updates from all providers, then use the PASSIVE_PROVIDER. This provider does not turn on or modify active location providers, so you do not need to be as careful about minimum time and minimum distance parameters. However, if your application performs heavy work on a location update (such as network activity) then you should set an explicit fastest interval on your location request in case another application enables a location provider with extremely fast updates.

In case the provider you have selected is disabled, location updates will cease, and a provider availability update will be sent. As soon as the provider is enabled again, another provider availability update will be sent and location updates will resume.

Locations returned from GPS_PROVIDER are with respect to the primary GNSS antenna position within the device. getGnssAntennaInfos() may be used to determine the GNSS antenna position with respect to the Android Coordinate System, and convert between them if necessary. This is generally only necessary for high accuracy applications.

When location callbacks are invoked, the system will hold a wakelock on your application's behalf for some period of time, but not indefinitely. If your application requires a long running wakelock within the location callback, you should acquire it yourself.

Spamming location requests is a drain on system resources, and the system has preventative measures in place to ensure that this behavior will never result in more locations than could be achieved with a single location request with an equivalent interval that is left in place the whole time. As part of this amelioration, applications that target Android S and above may receive cached or historical locations through their listener. These locations will never be older than the interval of the location request.

To unregister for location updates, use removeUpdates(android.location.LocationListener).
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

`provider`	`String`: a provider listed by `getAllProviders()` This value cannot be `null`.
`locationRequest`	`LocationRequest`: the location request containing location parameters. This value cannot be `null`.
