Answer 1

If use FusedLocationProviderClient, first we need check Location is enabled in device.

private fun isLocationEnabled(): Boolean {
    val activity: Activity? = this.activity
    val lm = activity?.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as? LocationManager
    if (lm != null) {
        val enabled = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
            lm.isLocationEnabled
        } else {
            lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
                    || lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)
        }
        Log.d(TAG, "isLocationServiceEnabled", enabled)
        return enabled
    }
    return false
}

And then, check LocationSettings.

val request = LocationRequest.create()
        .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)

val settingRequest = LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
        .addLocationRequest(request)
        .build()
// check Location settings for the request
LocationServices.getSettingsClient(context)
        .checkLocationSettings(settingRequest)
        .addOnSuccessListener {
            // OK!!
            // fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates
        }
        .addOnFailureListener {  exception ->
            if (exception  is ResolvableApiException) {
                try {
                    exception.startResolutionForResult(activity, RC_LOCATION_SETTINGS)
                } catch (ex: IntentSender.SendIntentException) {
                    // ignore
                }
            } else {
                // handle other errors
                showFusedDisabledDialog()
            }
        }
