In my app so I am able to receive location updates even if I put the device to sleep, without explicitly holding a WakeLock. I came across what appears to be the Android 2.2 source of the GpsLocationProvider<http://grepcode.com/file_/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.2_r1.1/com/android/internal/location/GpsLocationProvider.java/?v=source>, and assuming I did not misinterpret the code, it looks like it is really able to wake up the device via the AlarmManager.
