I had the exact same question myself. Browsing the source code for
the settings application shows that it's calling
locationManager.updateProviders() to send the notification out.
Unfortunately, this API isn't available unless you're building within
the Android source tree.
Your options seem to be:
1) Ignore the problem. Things should still work, except for the
notifications.
2) Wait for Google to open up the updateProviders() api, then update
your code accordingly.
3) Use this code snippet from http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/android/46356/:
try {
Method m =
locationManager.getClass().getMethod("updateProviders", new
Class[] {});
m.setAccessible(true);
m.invoke(locationManager, new Object[]{});
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't call updateProviders", e);
}
I can't vouch for #3. I'm sticking to #2 myself.
