How to programmatically check Android "Location Consent"?

I would like to programmatically determine whether the user has agreed or disagreed to the "Location Consent" dialog that appears when you turn your on your GPS on Android devices.

I have not been able to find where to get this information from, and I'm not sure whether it is actually available anywhere within the code?

Thanks!

Check the newer gms.location.SettingsApi. You build a LocationRequest and ask if the current system settings are compatible, and handle the result as needed.

This is about location mode. if the user agreed to the "Location Consent", location mode set on High Accuracy.

For check this mode you can use following code: 

    public static boolean checkLocationSettings(Context context) {

    int locationMode = 0;
    String locationProviders;

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT){
        try {
            locationMode = Settings.Secure.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE);

        } catch (SettingNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return (locationMode != Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF && locationMode == Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_HIGH_ACCURACY); //check location mode

    }else{
        locationProviders = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
        return !TextUtils.isEmpty(locationProviders);
    }


}
