No, the device doesn't *always* know where it is. That's why getLastKnownLocation() returns null sometimes. Obtaining and maintaining a GPS fix (location) is expensive for the battery. Only when needed locations are obtained and maintained. I think that in API-level 8 a new location provider was added to passively obtain a location, using other apps' gps-fixes: LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER
