Is GPS activated - Flutter

Question

Is there a way to find out in Flutter if the GPS is activated or deactivated? I use the plugin location however there I get only the location and not the state of the GPS.

Update 2019/10/25

The location package now has a function (serviceEnabled()) to detect whether the location service is enabled and returns a bool as described in its docs and shown in the example:

bool serviceStatus = await _locationService.serviceEnabled();
if (service) {
    // service enabled
} else {
    // service not enabled, restricted or permission denied
}

Old answer (package outdated)

With geolocations you can check wether the location service is operational. It generally includes more customizability then the location package.

final GeolocationResult result = await Geolocation.isLocationOperational();
if(result.isSuccessful) { 
    // location service is enabled, and location permission is granted 
} else { 
    // location service is not enabled, restricted, or location permission is denied 
}
