setTestProviderLocation() does not trigger calling of onLocationChanged()

Question

I\'m trying to get this bit of code to work:

Testing GPS in Android

The problem is, when I run the test, onLocationChanged() is never called:

After adding and enabling your Provider just use this line to get the updates :
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(MOCK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);

I recommend to use a method like this on activity start-up :

    private void enableProvider() {
        
        try {
            locationManager.addTestProvider(
                    MOCK_PROVIDER,
                    false,
                    false,
                    false,
                    false,
                    true,
                    true,
                    true,
                    0,
                    5
            );
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException | SecurityException e) {
            Log.w(TAG, "addTestProvider" + e.getMessage());
        }
        try {
            locationManager.setTestProviderEnabled(MOCK_PROVIDER, true);
            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(MOCK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this); <-- Update Request
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException | SecurityException e) {
            Log.w(TAG, "setTestProviderEnabled" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

Handle the exceptions as well.
