Answer 1

some time location manager returns the wrong result.below code works for me.

public static boolean isGpsEnabled(Context context) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
            String providers = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(),
                    Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
            if (TextUtils.isEmpty(providers)) {
                return false;
            }
            return providers.contains(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        } else {
            final int locationMode;
            try {
                locationMode = Settings.Secure.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                        Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE);
            } catch (Settings.SettingNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return false;
            }
            switch (locationMode) {

                case Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_HIGH_ACCURACY:
                case Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_SENSORS_ONLY:
                    return true;
                case Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_BATTERY_SAVING:
                case Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF:
                default:
                    return false;
            }
        }
    }
