    1)Firstly in your XML,Make a Button and TextView :

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnMyLocation"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/mylocation"/>
     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/tvMyLocation"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:textSize="@dimen/text_Size"
         android:layout_below="@+id/btnMyLocation"/>
    


    2)In your Corresponding Java File,the onCreate method will be:

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        btnMyLocation=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnMyLocation);
        tvMyLocation=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvMyLocation);
        btnMyLocation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
                // check if GPS enabled
                if(gps.canGetLocation()){
                    double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
                    double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
                    // \n is for new line
                   // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    tvMyLocation.setText("latitude is :"+ latitude + "&&" + "longitude is :"+ longitude);
                }else{
                    // can't get location
                    // GPS or Network is not enabled
                    // Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
                    gps.showSettingsAlert();
                }
            }
        });
    }
    

    Set onClickListener on a Button click.When a button is clicked,it will start a Service gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this) namely GPSTracker.It will first check if GPS on ur Phone is Enabled Or Not.If it is Enabled then it will get Latitude and Longitude,and set it in TextView AND If GPS is NOT Enabled,then it will ask user to Enable GPS.


    3)In your GPSTracker Java File,it will extend a Service and code will be as Follows:

    public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
        private final Context mContext;
        // flag for GPS status
        boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
        // flag for network status
        boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
        // flag for GPS status
        boolean canGetLocation = false;
        Location location; // location
        double latitude; // latitude
        double longitude; // longitude
        // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
        private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters
        // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
        private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute
        // Declaring a Location Manager
        protected LocationManager locationManager;
        public GPSTracker(Context context) {
            this.mContext = context;
            getLocation();
        }
        public Location getLocation() {
            try {
                locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                        .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
                // getting GPS status
                isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                        .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                // getting network status
                isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                        .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
                    // no network provider is enabled
                } else {
                    this.canGetLocation = true;
                    if (isNetworkEnabled) {
                        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                                LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                                MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                                MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                        Log.d("Network", "Network");
                        if (locationManager != null) {
                            location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                            if (location != null) {
                                latitude = location.getLatitude();
                                longitude = location.getLongitude();
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
                    if (isGPSEnabled) {
                        if (location == null) {
                            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                                    LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                                    MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                                    MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                            Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
                            if (locationManager != null) {
