You can request status update without location updates but the GPS status will be changed only if some other application did it. Therefore listening for the status updates without location notifications makes sense only for some kind of a background service when you want to save location whenever somebody else gets it. BTW: Android introduced "PASSIVE_PROVIDER" in API 8 which should be used to achieve such behavior (i.e. get location updates when someone enables GPS).
