Try
<!-- why I add this I didn't remember -->
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"></uses-permission>
and see my MapActivity code its working on 1.0,
private MyLocationOverlay mMyLocationOverlay;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
kMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.main_map);
kMapCtrl = kMapView.getController();
LocationManager lm =
(LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location loc =
lm.getLastKnownLocation(lm.getProviders(true).get(0));
.........
}
