String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);   
if(!provider.contains("gps")){      
    final Intent poke = new Intent();  
    poke.setClassName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");           
    poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);   
    poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));      
    sendBroadcast(poke);  
    }
