Whenever i press any event key in my application i need to check whether my device is getting GPS location all the time or not.

You should use this type of code:-

/* Use the LocationManager class to obtain GPS locations */

        LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); 
        Location location = mlocManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
        if(location!=null)
        {

           myLongitude = location.getLongitude();
           myLatitude= location.getLatitude();
        }
        else
        {

            myLongitude =0;
            myLatitude= 0;
        }



        LocationListener mlocListener;
        mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();

        mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
        Log.v("Checkin_Inspect_activity","cordintes of this place = "+myLatitude+"  "+myLongitude);

and design you class like this:-

 /* Class My Location Listener */
    public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener

{


@Override

public void onLocationChanged(Location loc)

{


    myLatitude= loc.getLatitude();
    myLongitude=loc.getLongitude();
   }


@Override

public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)

{



 // Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"Gps Disabled",   Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();

}


@Override

public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)

{



 //  Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"Gps Enabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}


@Override

public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)

{


}

}
