there is an app in the market that does it?how is it possible? – Gaurav Gupta Aug 21 '12 at 06:41
It likely uses an exploit from an older version of android, and that app probably wouldn't work on new versions of android. There isn't an official documented way of turning GPS on/off programmatically, much like NFC. GPS and NFC have privacy/security implications so thats why you can only manipulate them to an extent. – Finding Nemo 2 is happening. Aug 21 '12 at 07:32
