Hello Friends i solve my issue with Broadcast refer my code

public class BrodActivity extends Activity {


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.content_main);
    initialize();
}

private void initialize() {

    AlarmManager alarmManager=(AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    Intent intent = new Intent(BrodActivity.this, AlarmReceiver.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(BrodActivity.this, 0, intent, 0);
    alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,System.currentTimeMillis(),1000*60*1,
            pendingIntent);

}

}

AlarmReceiver.java

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{

Location mCurrentLocation;
GPSTracker gps;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
     gps = new GPSTracker(context);

            // check if GPS enabled
            if(gps.canGetLocation()){

                double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
                double longitude = gps.getLongitude();

                // \n is for new line
                Toast.makeText(context, "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }else{
                // can't get location
                // GPS or Network is not enabled
                // Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
                gps.showSettingsAlert();
            }
    }

It might not be possible because

Android Guidelines have changed above version 4.0. You cannot change GPS off on programmatically for versions above 4.0. However, you can change wifi off on programmatically

Apps cannot enable or disable GPS programmatically, except perhaps on rooted devices. Please allow the user to do that.

But Below 4.0 there might be a possibilty check this post

How can I enable or disable the GPS programmatically on Android?

GPS active on after my application destroy form my mobile stack
