            if(!provider.contains("gps")){
                final Intent poke = new Intent();
                poke.setClassName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");

You are calling the function when you are trying to DESTROY The activity itself. First find the Fix of GPS using GPSStatusListener

Use this code

Check Gps Status

Call your GpsTurnOff status in GPSStatusListener

@Sumit First use GPSStatusListener to find if your app got GPS Fix, If it's not getting GPS Fix after few seconds then call your function within GPSStatusListener. Kindly read the answer carefully in my mentioned example – user996428 Sep 08 '12 at 07:38

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { turnGPSOnOff(); } }, 2000*60); this will turnoff my gps after certain time
