The method which I am using right now is very unreliable. In my Android device(not simulator) most of the times the location returned is null .Though sometimes it does work.

 public Location getLocation(String provider) {
    if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(provider)) {
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,
                MIN_TIME_FOR_UPDATE, MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE, this);
        if (locationManager != null) {
            location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
            return location;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

I know that after the introduction of API 23 there are other permissions I need to take care of. Is there a reliable way to get location ?

This can be done without starting the provider. Note that this location could be out-of-date , for example if the device was turned off and moved to another location. If the provider is currently disabled, null is returned .

And last thing that i want to notice you, calling requestLocationUpdates method does not mean it will give you location asap. So this is why i mentioned you onLocationChanged callback method.
