MrKim Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 21, 2015 #1 When I run the GPS example program when the program closes the the 'Location' icon in the notification bar goes away. When I run the GPS as a service in my app the icon remains even after I Stop GPS in the Service_Destroy event. It even remains when you close the activity. All I want to do is get the speed periodically (every 1-5 minutes). After that I want it gone completely. I am using a separate sticky service to start the GPS service. Thanks in advance for any help. I have enclosed an example program. Attachments GPSTest.zip GPSTest.zip 9.7 KB · Views: 324

This is making me realize how sloppy a coder I am. Upvote 0
