You can do so by using Network provider classes You can use below code AppLocationService.java // Special for getting current location with low battery usage (same like Battery saver mode in nexus 5 ,5.0)

package coreclass;

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;

public class AppLocationService extends Service implements LocationListener {

protected LocationManager locationManager;
Location location;

private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE = 10;
private static final long MIN_TIME_FOR_UPDATE = 1000 * 60 * 2;

public AppLocationService(Context context) {
    locationManager = (LocationManager) context
            .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
}

public Location getLocation(String provider) {
    if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(provider)) {
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,
                MIN_TIME_FOR_UPDATE, MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE, this);
        if (locationManager != null) {
            location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
            return location;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
    return null;
}

}

Usage of above class MainActivity.java

AppLocationService appLocationService;
appLocationService = new AppLocationService(getActivity());
Location nwLocation = appLocationService.getLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                        if (nwLocation != null) {
                            Lat = nwLocation.getLatitude();
                            Longi = nwLocation.getLongitude();

                        }

In this way you can get the current location with GPS mode in high bettery usage mode, after you can set the blue dot or whatever you want

Hope it helps you and all
