Yes, I have found several apps that were tracking my location when I did not want them to, such as AudioBoo, iBlink Radio, and various other radio, GPS, transportation or other apps. I think (but don't know for sure) that they track your location to provide better "services" to you. For instance, iBlink Radio wants to know where you are so you can get appropriate local radio results, etc. I would definitely recommend looking through that list every so often to make sure you approve all of the apps you want to track your location. Also, going through the list of apps that can send push notifications is a good idea too. Many apps that I have installed and which I use are not turned on in the notification screen to send notifications to me. I don't necessarily want my phone to keep going off every few minutes whenever a new notification comes in, but that's just me. I would think that if you had a lot of notifications going off that this could drain the battery as well, perhaps not as much as the phone spontaneously turning on, but still.
