    public static void engine(SQLiteDatabase mydb){
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, GPSLocation.class);
        intent.putExtra("sql_obj", mydb); 
        startService(intent);

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method startService(Intent) from the type ContextWrapper

Looks like you've already got a reference to a Context class via context variable (since you are using it to create intent Intent intent = new Intent(context, GPSLocation.class);), so you can start it from the static context in the following way:

context.startService(intent)
