                .setMessage(
                        "GPS is disabled in your device. Would you like to enable it?")
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton("Goto Settings Page To Enable GPS",

                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                Intent callGPSSettingIntent = new Intent(
                                        android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
                                ChatSDK.getSDKInstance().activity.startActivity(callGPSSettingIntent);

keep one boolean and set as false initially and change it to true while sending the intent. and check in onResume if if is true check the gps connectivity there and change the boolean to false. — Tamilselvan Kalimuthu, Mar 20 '14 at 07:27

 if (!((LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE))
    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
 //prompt user to enable gps
 }else{
 //gps is enabled
 }

@user3152953

you can write this to check

boolean isGPS ;
 isGPS = locationManager.isProviderEnabled (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

 if(isGPS)
  {
     //gps is open already
  }
 else
 {
    //gps is close already
 }
