Android: Google Play Services location problems
I have a problem with the new Google Play Service and its GPS function.
Right now I am using this code:
package my.app.client;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentSender;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**
* Using location settings.
* <p/>
* Uses the {@link com.google.android.gms.location.SettingsApi} to ensure that the device's system
* settings are properly configured for the app's location needs. When making a request to
* Location services, the device's system settings may be in a state that prevents the app from
* obtaining the location data that it needs. For example, GPS or Wi-Fi scanning may be switched
* off. The {@code SettingsApi} makes it possible to determine if a device's system settings are
* adequate for the location request, and to optionally invoke a dialog that allows the user to
* enable the necessary settings.
* <p/>
* This sample allows the user to request location updates using the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION setting
* (as specified in AndroidManifest.xml). The sample requires that the device has location enabled
* and set to the "High accuracy" mode. If location is not enabled, or if the location mode does
* not permit high accuracy determination of location, the activity uses the {@code SettingsApi}
* to invoke a dialog without requiring the developer to understand which settings are needed for
* different Location requirements.

Which is more or less an example code of the newest Play Store location services. Anyway if I want to activate the service by using this code:
NewGPSClient GPSM = new NewGPSClient();
GPSM.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
There is the following error log I get:

</activity>
In fact, the GPS is now in the class LauncherActivity.

Add the following line in your build.gradle file,
dependencies {
...
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:+"
}

I was receiving a NoClassDefFoundError and it was because I had included play-services-gcm but forgot to include play-services-location.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.5.0'
Not 100% related to your error, but this post is in the top 10 when googling java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices" on path

I was able to get your code working with a couple minor changes, and just used the latitude, longitude, and last update time to test it (I just un-commented the lines pertaining to those fields).
First of all, you should never create the Activity using new NewGPSClient();.
Instead, use startActivity() like below:
Intent i = new Intent(this, NewGPSClient.class);
startActivity(i);
Second, you were calling startLocationUpdates(); before the asynchronous call to connect to the SDK had completed.
I moved the call to startLocationUpdates(); into onConnected(Bundle connectionHint), and now it works.
Here is the full working code:
public class NewGPSClient extends ActionBarActivity implements
ConnectionCallbacks,
OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener,
ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult> {
protected static final String TAG = "location-settings";
/**
* Constant used in the location settings dialog.
*/
protected static final int REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS = 0x1;
/**
* The desired interval for location updates. Inexact. Updates may be more or less frequent.
*/
public static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 10000;
/**
* The fastest rate for active location updates. Exact. Updates will never be more frequent
* than this value.
*/
public static final long FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS =
UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS / 2;
// Keys for storing activity state in the Bundle.
protected final static String KEY_REQUESTING_LOCATION_UPDATES = "requesting-location-updates";
protected final static String KEY_LOCATION = "location";
