/**
 * This class provides access to the system location services.  These
 * services allow applications to obtain periodic updates of the
 * device's geographical location, or to fire an application-specified
 * {@link Intent} when the device enters the proximity of a given
 * geographical location.
 *
 * <p>You do not
 * instantiate this class directly; instead, retrieve it through
 * {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService
 * Context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE)}.
 *
 * <p>At API version 17 the Location API's were simplified.
 * Previously applications would need to explicitly enumerate, select, and
 * track Location Providers (such as GPS or Network).
 * This has been replaced by the concept of
 * <em>Fused Location</em>. Now applications just specify the quality of service
 * required for location updates (using the new {@link LocationRequest} class),
 * and the system will fuse results from individual location providers
 * as necessary before returning the result to the application.
 *
 * <p>As a result of this change, the {@link LocationProvider} and
 * {@link Criteria} classes have been deprecated, in favor of
 * {@link LocationRequest}. Furthermore, all Location Manager
 * methods involving Criteria or explicitly named Providers have
 * been deprecated, in favor of new variants that use
 * {@link LocationRequest}.
 *
 * <p>A single {@link LocationRequest} object can trigger the use
 * of all providers (including GPS, Network, and the passive) provider
 * as necessary. This should result in a lot less work for your application. You
 * no longer need to track the status and availability of each
 * location provider. Just set the quality of locations required
 * in {@link LocationRequest}, and let the system manage the rest.
 *
 * <p class="note">Unless noted, all Location API methods require
 * the {@link android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION} or
 * {@link android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION} permissions.
 * If your application only has the coarse permission then it will not have
 * access to the GPS or passive location providers. Other providers will still
 * return location results, but the update rate will be throttled and the exact
 * location will be obfuscated to a coarse level of accuracy.

    /**
     * Register for location updates using a Criteria and pending intent.
     *
     * <p>The <code>requestLocationUpdates()</code> and
     * <code>requestSingleUpdate()</code> methods involving
     * an explicit String provider or {@link Criteria} are deprecated.
     *
     * <p>They register the current activity to be updated
     * periodically by the named provider, or by the provider matching
     * the specified {@link Criteria}, with location and status updates.
     *
     * <p> It may take a while to receive the first location update. If
     * an immediate location is required, applications may use the
     * {@link #getLastKnownLocation(String)} method.
     *
     * <p> Location updates are received either by {@link LocationListener}
     * callbacks, or by broadcast intents to a supplied {@link PendingIntent}.
     *
     * <p> If the caller supplied a pending intent, then location updates
     * are sent with a key of {@link #KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED} and a
     * {@link android.location.Location} value.
     *
     * <p> The location update interval can be controlled using the minTime parameter.
     * The elapsed time between location updates will never be less than
     * minTime, although it can be more depending on the Location Provider
     * implementation and the update interval requested by other applications.
     *
     * <p> Choosing a sensible value for minTime is important to conserve
     * battery life. Each location update requires power from
     * GPS, WIFI, Cell and other radios. Select a minTime value as high as
     * possible while still providing a reasonable user experience.
     * If your application is not in the foreground and showing
     * location to the user then your application should avoid using an active
     * provider (such as {@link #NETWORK_PROVIDER} or {@link #GPS_PROVIDER}),
     * but if you insist then select a minTime of 5 * 60 * 1000 (5 minutes)
     * or greater. If your application is in the foreground and showing
     * location to the user then it is appropriate to select a faster
     * update interval.
     *
     * <p> The minDistance parameter can also be used to control the
     * frequency of location updates. If it is greater than 0 then the
     * location provider will only send your application an update when
     * the location has changed by at least minDistance meters, AND
     * at least minTime milliseconds have passed. However it is more
     * difficult for location providers to save power using the minDistance
     * parameter, so minTime should be the primary tool to conserving battery
     * life.
     *
     * <p> If your application wants to passively observe location
     * updates triggered by other applications, but not consume
     * any additional power otherwise, then use the {@link #PASSIVE_PROVIDER}
     * This provider does not actively turn on or modify active location
     * providers, so you do not need to be as careful about minTime and
     * minDistance. However if your application performs heavy work
     * on a location update (such as network activity) then you should
     * select non-zero values for minTime and/or minDistance to rate-limit
     * your update frequency in the case another application enables a
     * location provider with extremely fast updates.
     *
     * <p>In case the provider is disabled by the user, updates will stop,
     * and a provider availability update will be sent.
     * As soon as the provider is enabled again,
     * location updates will immediately resume and a provider availability
     * update sent. Providers can also send status updates, at any time,
     * with extra's specific to the provider. If a callback was supplied
     * then status and availability updates are via
     * {@link LocationListener#onProviderDisabled},
     * {@link LocationListener#onProviderEnabled} or
     * {@link LocationListener#onStatusChanged}. Alternately, if a
     * pending intent was supplied then status and availability updates
     * are broadcast intents with extra keys of
     * {@link #KEY_PROVIDER_ENABLED} or {@link #KEY_STATUS_CHANGED}.
     *
     * <p> If a {@link LocationListener} is used but with no Looper specified
     * then the calling thread must already
     * be a {@link android.os.Looper} thread such as the main thread of the
     * calling Activity. If a Looper is specified with a {@link LocationListener}
     * then callbacks are made on the supplied Looper thread.
     *
     * <p class="note"> Prior to Jellybean, the minTime parameter was
     * only a hint, and some location provider implementations ignored it.
     * From Jellybean and onwards it is mandatory for Android compatible
     * devices to observe both the minTime and minDistance parameters.
