No, you've still not got it.

Androids LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER: All kinds of GPS.
Androids LocationManager.NETWORK: Uses the mobile phone network or
nearby wifi to provide location details. This is absolutely nothing to
do with GPS in any way.

Additionally D-GPS stations *do not transmit the same information as
in A-GPS*. D-GPS increase accuracy, A-GPS decreases lock-time. Two
different things.
