When you ask Android about location you specify accuracy (Fine or Coarse). You don't know if Android will use GPS. GPS takes a lot of power, normally phone has optimization for that and try to calculate your location based on cell towers, wifi networks.

Have you try LocationManager class in android. This class allow user to request location by gps and network provider both.
FusedLocationProvider is latest android api to get location
