Is the GPS provider running? If nothing has called one of the LocationManager#requestLocationUpdates methods, which can start the GPS provider, then LocationManager#getLastKnownLocation will return null. The getLastKnownLocation method does not start the provider. It returns null if the provider has never been started and never gotten any location.
