You mentioned that your program turns on GPS... I haven't done much with GPS but I believe one of the changes with Android 1.5 was that you can no longer turn GPS on or off programatically...
If GPS is not on you could provide a button or something that would take the user to the GPS settings page to allow them to turn it on.

If I use an emulator and provide such data manually, the program works as expected. But I have Android device, but whenever I run the program on the device the program displays 'Location not found'. Now the program turns the GPS on, and I know there is no problem with the way the GPS works because the Google Maps installed in a device works. What can I do to implement this important feature?
