Here is the code snippet that can be used for this

 private void EnableGPS(){   

    String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);   
    if(!provider.contains("gps")){      
        final Intent poke = new Intent();  
        poke.setClassName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");           poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);   
        poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));      
        sendBroadcast(poke);  
   }  }
