As silly as it maybe, it could be in the wrong place. I had the same problem. The bolded part is where I had originally put the code. The italic part is where it should have gone

        Log.i("-----------", location.toString());
    }
    **if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, 
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != 
            PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {'some code'}**
    }; 'End of LocationListener method
    *if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, 
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != 
        PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { 'some code'}*
