get current location from GPS in Blackberry application

How to get current location from GPS in Blackberry application. I tried to get location from Locationmanager method in simulator its work fine but in my device (Storm 2 using wifi) I am not able to get current lat long.

my code 

    private class LocationListenerImpl implements LocationListener {  
    public void locationUpdated(LocationProvider provider, Location location) {  
        if (location.isValid()) {  
            heading = location.getCourse();  
            longitude = location.getQualifiedCoordinates().getLongitude();  
            latitude = location.getQualifiedCoordinates().getLatitude();  
            altitude = location.getQualifiedCoordinates().getAltitude();  
            speed = location.getSpeed();  

            // This is to get the Number of Satellites  
            String NMEA_MIME = "application/X-jsr179-location-nmea";  
            satCountStr = location.getExtraInfo("satellites");  
            if (satCountStr == null) {  
                satCountStr = location.getExtraInfo(NMEA_MIME);  
            }  

            // this is to get the accuracy of the GPS Cords  
            QualifiedCoordinates qc = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();  
            accuracy = qc.getHorizontalAccuracy();  
        }  
    }  

    public void providerStateChanged(LocationProvider provider, int newState) {  
        // no-op  
    }  
}

I found this on the first place I looked for storm issues : If you run the above code on your BlackBerry device (for instance a Storm), you will get a "GPS not allowed" LocationProvider exception. You need to get your code signed if you want to use the BlackBerry Storm with GPS in your app. To do this, you need to buy a $20 certificate from RIM.
