getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE) but for LocationClient

getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE) returns a LocationManager.

I want the same functionality but for com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient.

Does something like this exist?

You do not obtain a LocationClient via getSystemService(). You obtain a LocationClient via the LocationClient constructor.

Because I am writing a BroadcastReceiver to handle a broadcast Intent and I want this BroadcastReceiver to use the same LocationClient instance each time it is called.

If your BroadcastReceiver is registered via registerReceiver(), you are welcome to hold onto the instance of LocationClient for as long as the hosting component (activity or service) is active.

If your BroadcastReceiver is registered in the manifest, your process can be terminated between broadcasts, and so there is no means for you to ensure that you get the same LocationClient instance.
