Here:

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim NativeMe As JavaObject
   NativeMe.InitializeContext
   NativeMe.RunMethod("turnGPSOn", Null)
End Sub
#If JAVA
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.provider.Settings;
public void turnGPSOn()
{
  Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
  intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
  this.sendBroadcast(intent);

  String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
  if(!provider.contains("gps")){ //if gps is disabled
  final Intent poke = new Intent();
  poke.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");
  poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);
  poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));
  this.sendBroadcast(poke);


  }
}
#End IF

It doesn't work (as expected).
