You probably do NOT want to put the starting and stopping of the location (GPS) providers in the onStart() and onStop().
The onStop() may not be called when your activity goes to the background: - It is not called because your activity remains active in the background - It is not called because the OS just killed your entire process. (this would actually kill the GPS provider as well). Instead, start and stop the GPS provider in the onResume() and onPause().
