Android: Location access authorization change event?

I'm using Xamarin Android and I want to trigger an event whenever the location access is changed by a user. When the app starts it prompts for permission to access location service, I want to trigger some event when a user selects yes or no. Are there any such events in Android that can handle it?

You can use PermissionChecker class's CheckSelfPermission(string permission) method which was introduced in API 23.0
Eg code:

const string permission = Manifest.Permission.AccessFineLocation; //Also you can use ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
if (CheckSelfPermission(permission) == (int)Permission.Granted)
{
    //Operation if permission is granted
}
else
{
    //Operation if permission is not granted
}
