Stop location updates with FusedLocation

How do I stop the FusedLocation listener for updates? This is how I set it up:

    mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(getActivity());
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
    mLocationRequest.setInterval(10000);
    mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
    mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    mLocationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
            if (locationResult == null) {
                return;
            }
            for (Location location : locationResult.getLocations()) {
                // Update UI with location data


                // Write a message to the database

        };
    };
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        //
    } else {
        mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, mLocationCallback,
                null /* Looper */);

    }

How to stop listening for location updates in the onStop method for example?

The official documentation recommends stop locations in onPause method and restart updates in onResume method.

The code will be something like this:

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    stopLocationUpdates();
}

private void stopLocationUpdates() {
    mFusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(mLocationCallback);
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (mRequestingLocationUpdates) {
        startLocationUpdates();
    }
}

private void startLocationUpdates() {
    mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest,
            mLocationCallback,
            null /* Looper */);
}
