LocationListeners provide some great methods for determining things like this... onProviderDisabled [so you know its completely off] and onStatusChanged [which will return one of three status codes]. Check out the docs, this should be precisely what you need. If GPS is straight off, onProviderDisabled will fire, and if it is on but cannot find a fix [say the user is inside a brick building] the onStatusChanged method will fire after 30 seconds or so of attempting to get a fix [the duration before this method is fired seems to differ every run].
