Android: How do I remove a request with LocationRequest?

Im using Google Play Services, Fused Location Provider and LocationRequest to get the current location. 

mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setNumUpdates(1); 
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);

I would like to know how do I go about cancelling a request in progress? As stated by documentation when I call setNumUpdates() and pass 1, I must set an expiration which is fine while the app is running but what if I go to paused state? How can I explicitly cancel the request as the docs mention as soon as paused state occurs?

Thanks for reading

Just stop it like this, using the instance of your

fusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(locationCallback);

See the documentation: https://developer.android.com/training/location/request-updates

If you are calling mGoogleApiClient.connect(); at onStart(), do that on onCreate(), and setNumUpdates will called only once.
