How to get number of available sattelite in android gps

I'm working on GPS in android and I want to show the number of Satellite available at that time for current location and I am getting 3 at all the time in my app while in other app they showing 6 to 9 at same location.I don't know what is the problem. I am able to get Lat & Long current location. I'm getting no. of satellite from locationManager.getAllProviders().size() in LocationListener

I also tried 

int satellite = 0;

GpsStatus status = locationManager.getGpsStatus(null);
            Iterable<GpsSatellite> sat = status.getSatellites();
            int i=0;
            while (sat.iterator().hasNext())
            {
                GpsSatellite gpsSatellite=(GpsSatellite)sats.iterator().next();

                if(gpsSatellite.usedInFix())
                {
                    satellite++;
                }


            }

but it showing me 0;

please help me. Thanks in advanced.

You can check out the GpsStatus class methods.

You can use getSatellies() method to get a list of satellites. It is an iterable so you can traverse it and get the number of satellites.
