I used this method for get location i think it will help you

private void startReceivingLocationUpdates() {

    if (mLocationManager == null) {

        mLocationManager = (android.location.LocationManager)
                mContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

    }

    if (mLocationManager != null) {

        try {

            mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(

                    android.location.LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                    1000,
                    0F,
                    mLocationListeners[1]);

        } 
     catch (SecurityException ex) 
         {
            Log.i(TAG, "fail to request location update, ignore", ex);

        } 

       catch (IllegalArgumentException ex)
       {
            Log.d(TAG, "provider does not exist " + ex.getMessage());
        }

        try {

            mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(

                    android.location.LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                    1000,
                    0F,
                    mLocationListeners[0]);

            if (mListener != null) mListener.showGpsOnScreenIndicator(false);


        }
       catch (SecurityException ex) {

            Log.i(TAG, "fail to request location update, ignore", ex); } 

        catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {

            Log.d(TAG, "provider does not exist " + ex.getMessage());  }

        Log.d(TAG, "startReceivingLocationUpdates");
    }
}
