Google maps GPS: longitude and latitude returns zero

Question

I need to get location or latitude longitude from Main class, but it returns null if i get location or 0.0 if i get latitude and longitude as in this code below. Tried to minimize code and make it clear as it is possible.

here is the service class where i need to get the location from main class

public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
    {
        Log.e(TAG, "onLocationChanged: " + location);
        mLastLocation.set(location);

        if(MainActivity.isMarkerDragged()) {

            Location markerLocation = new Location(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
            markerLocation.setLatitude(MainActivity.getMarkerLat());
            markerLocation.setLongitude(MainActivity.getMarkerLon());

            Toast.makeText(mContext, MainActivity.getMarkerLon() + " = " + MainActivity.getMarkerLat(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            // Current location
            distance = location.distanceTo(markerLocation);
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "marker dragged " + distance, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
    }

On method onLocationChanged i am getting this longitude and lattitude

endPoint.setTitle(endPoint.getPosition().longitude + ", " + endPoint.getPosition().latitude);

This works as planned but when i get the position on service it returns 0.0 (sucks)

public static Marker endPoint;
public static boolean markerDragged = true;
public static boolean serviceStarted = false;

private static double markerLat;
private static double markerLon;

@Override
public void onMarkerDragEnd(Marker marker) {

    }
}

@Override

    setMarkerDragged(true);

    markerLat = marker.getPosition().latitude;
    markerLon = marker.getPosition().longitude;

    endPoint.setTitle(endPoint.getPosition().longitude + ", " + endPoint.getPosition().latitude);
}

public static double getMarkerLon(){
    return markerLon;
}

public static double getMarkerLat(){
    return markerLat;

Found the solution: on Main class:

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, LocationService.class);
        intent.putExtra("latitude", endPoint.getPosition().latitude);
        intent.putExtra("longitude", endPoint.getPosition().longitude);
        startService(intent);

and on Service:

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
    Log.e(TAG, "onStartCommand");
    super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    markerLat = (Double) intent.getExtras().get("latitude");
    markerLon = (Double) intent.getExtras().get("longitude");
    return START_STICKY;
}
