I am developing an application that gets position of the cell phone all day long in 10 and 15 seconds in a service, it works fine but sometimes the method OnLocationChanged of the Network provider listener stop to being called.

 import android.location.Address;
    import android.location.Geocoder;
    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.AdapterView;
    import android.widget.ListView;
    import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
    import android.widget.TextView;


    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.List;

    import foodinn.databases.LocationUpdaterDatabase;

    public class LocationUpdatesActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
        private LocationUpdaterDatabase locationUpdaterDatabase;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_location_updates);

            locationUpdaterDatabase = new LocationUpdaterDatabase(this, "Locations.db", null, 1);

            final Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this);

            ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.locationUpdatesListView);

            listView.setAdapter(new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.location_updates_list_view_view, locationUpdaterDatabase.getLocationUpdates(), new String[] {"latitude", "longitude", "whenUpdated"}, new int[] {R.id.listViewTextView1, R.id.listViewTextView2, R.id.listViewTextView3}, SimpleCursorAdapter.FLAG_REGISTER_CONTENT_OBSERVER));

            listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
                    double latitude = Double.valueOf(((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listViewTextView1)).getText().toString());
                    double longitude = Double.valueOf(((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listViewTextView2)).getText().toString());

                    try {
                        List
 addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);

                        String address = addressList.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
                        String city = addressList.get(0).getLocality();
                        String state = addressList.get(0).getAdminArea();
                        String country = addressList.get(0).getCountryName();
                        String postalCode = addressList.get(0).getPostalCode();
                        String knownName = addressList.get(0).getFeatureName();

                        ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listViewTextView4)).setText(address + ", " + city + ", " + country);
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            });
        }
    }
