I wish to receive a notification when the user enables or disables either Network or GPS locations, and importantly I wish to know which one they have changed and how. I have a

Answer 1

This works for me:

Add receiver to the Manifest file:

Check both location providers in receiver:

public class LocationProviderChangedReceiver  extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        boolean anyLocationProv = false;
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) MyMainActivity.context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        anyLocationProv |= locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        anyLocationProv |=  locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

        Log.i("", "Location service status" + anyLocationProv);


    }

}

Though this receiver is called more than once due to obvious reasons, but this will tell you the status.
