FusedLocationProviderClient returns wrong latitude longitude in Android Pie 9.0

I am facing a issue with getting latitude longitude using FusedLocationProviderClient only in Android Pie, I got the correct location below Android Version 9.0(Pie)

Every time I called getLocation() FusedLocationProviderClient provides same lat long.

  mFusedLocationClient.getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(Location location) {
                        if (location != null) {
                            wayLatitude = location.getLatitude();
                            wayLongitude = location.getLongitude();
                            Log.e("Location11", "" + String.format(Locale.US, "%s - %s", wayLatitude, wayLongitude));

                        } else {
                            mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback, null);
                        }
                    }
                });

I got same lat long everytime. like latitude- 28.303303303303 longtitude- 77.411411411

Provide Permission Both:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION will give proper result.

Use FusedLocationProviderApi and set LocationRequest priority to PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY

This is newest API for accurate location fetch and google suggest to use the same.

Check Accuracy details (Android Location Providers - GPS or Network Provider?)

Basically Google play services API has intelligence to get accurate location by fusing GPS+NetworkProvider+passive providers.
