Android Quick Settings notifications?

Question

In gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi, the way to check if location settings are enabled is to call checkLocationSettings. That's great for polling, but it's possible for the user to turn location on/off using the new Quick Settings menu (swipe down from top), which does not necessarily trigger onResume in the top activity (if location is turned on, there's a dialog, but if it's turned off, there isn't one).

What's the right way to get notified when a Quick Setting toggles Location?

I mean you have an android service to get location updates For example using LocationManager class. — Ibrahim Disouki, Apr 07 '15 at 08:19
Yes, I use FusedLocationProviderApi. The reason why your question is confusing is a Service is a specific term in Android, but it seems that's not what you meant. — Sofi Software LLC, Apr 24 '15 at 17:48

And the answer is... android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED is broadcast when a change is made to location in Quick Settings.

    <receiver
        android:name=".LocationProvidersChangedReceiver"
        >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
