I'm using the following code to get the last Location in my app:

public static Location getLastKnownLocation(Context context) {
    try {
        LocationManager mLocationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
        List<String> providers = mLocationManager.getProviders(true);
        Location bestLocation = null;
        for (String provider : providers) {
            Location l = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
            if (l == null) {
                continue;
            }
            if (bestLocation == null || l.getAccuracy() < bestLocation.getAccuracy()) {
                // Found best last known location: %s", l);
                bestLocation = l;
            }
        }
        return bestLocation;
    } catch (SecurityException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

This code still needs an improvement: it is better to ask for the permission instead of catching the Security Exception: see this stackoverflow thread

Don't forget to add the required permissions on the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

I cant use the locationServices.getLastLocation in android
