how to hide the gps icon on status bar when the service stops?

I need to hide the GPS icon from the status bar when my service disabled.

In my application I have two menu options, when I press the "enable" then the gps icon has to display on status bar and when I press the "disable" then the gps icon should not display on the status bar.

If you are requesting for GPS updates through the LocationManager, you can use this function to remove the updates (disable GPS):

locationManager.removeUpdates(this);

Simple. When you want the icon, enable GPS, and when you don't want it, disable GPS.
