Enable GPS

Intent intent=new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
sendBroadcast(intent);

Disable GPS

Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
intent.putExtra("enabled", false);
sendBroadcast(intent);

[This answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22528984/android-device-gps-on-off-programatically#22529296) suggests that this doesn't work in modern Android versions. I guess nowadays the user's action is needed to change the GPS state. – Markus Kauppinen May 06 '16 at 08:16

@lakshithamadusanka for wifi 'WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) this.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true); wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);' you have to add permission in manifast ** ** – IMRAN May 06 '16 at 10:19
@lakshithamadusanka for bluetooth ******************** public static boolean setBluetooth(boolean enable) { BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); boolean isEnabled = bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled(); if (enable && !isEnabled) { return bluetoothAdapter.enable(); } else if(!enable && isEnabled) { return bluetoothAdapter.disable(); } return true; }***********************permissions are – IMRAN May 06 '16 at 10:24
