Your app should always be coded to be able to handle getLastKnownLocation returning null. Something has to have requested location updates for there to be any last known location. For the GPS provider, for example, getLastKnownLocation will not turn the GPS on, but requestLocationUpdates will. See the documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html
