There are a lot of other threads discussing this, and the general consensus is that it shouldn't be possible, even though on some versions there are exploits that allow it.

However, this doesn't seem to be ethical, since you are violating your users privacy by not allowing them to choose whether or not they want to share their location.

How can I enable or disable the GPS programmatically on Android?
