Hendrik,
If you are taking about the built it "Power Controls" widget - it's part
of the system image, more specifically, Settings application, and is
signed with the platform key.
Note that starting with Android 2.0 (AFAIK), this settings only gives
LocationManager permission to use the GPS chip, if/when an application
requests it. It does not mean that the GPS chip is on all the time.

I've triedWRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.I've found out that only system apps
can get this permission.Actually I've found out how to toggle GPS
etc., but it is an expoit which I guess will be fixed with
Gingerbread. Unfortunately.

I've actually just tried that. But even if I put the
permission in the manifest, it still makes a security
exception that this permission was missing
What did you try?

The "power control plus" application can do it. So what's the
trick?
Being built as part of the firmware probably helps.
