I set my application to get location notification every 5 seconds.
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequ
Hope this answer isn't too late, but simply create a LocationRequest object, with the desired setInterval value. And then just call requestLocationUpdates with it.
I used this with tabs where 1 tab had to get location updates faster than the others. So I just changed the interval in the onResume and onPause methods.
