You can detect status of GPS by following way.

Look at GpsStatus.Listener. Register it with locationManager.addGpsStatusListener(gpsStatusListener).

@Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

            // GPS Enable
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
    }
