I was able to confirm this on an HTC Hero. If the refresh rate is a
value over ~35 seconds, the GPS icon will sometimes get stuck on the
notification bar. Setting a refresh rate of 1 second takes the
notification off the bar without fail. Until the next HTC Hero update,
anyway!

Alex, even if you use register / remove in onResume() / onPause(),
you're saying you still see the GPS icon get stuck on the notification
bar, unless you set your interval rate to something less than 35
seconds?:
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
locationManager
I see that too. There's not much more we can do other than release it
in onPause or onDestroy.

Actually on the G1 running 1.5, the GPS icon doesn't remove itself
from the notifications bar if the phone goes into sleep mode while you
have a listener registered (even though I'm deregistering onPause()).
Example:
1) on app start, register listener for gps.
2) onPause() to home screen, log sh
This same code works fine on a G1 (1.5/1.6), Magic, Droid, Cliq,
Samsung Behold and Moment. I was previously using a 10 minute update
interval.
I think it was the firmware update Sprint/HTC applied recently. While
it fixed many of the gigantic bugs with the Hero, it introduced this
one.

Alex, have you tried a simple test of just registering, then
deregistering the listeners in an otherwise empty project? On my
G1/1.5, I don't get this behavior, the GPS icon goes away shortly
after a deregister. If it's a quirk on that device, that is worrisome.
In that case, many apps will burn ou
I can confirm that an update interval of greater than 35 seconds
causes the GPS status icon to blink on an Sprint HTC Hero (Firmware
1.56.651.2). It does not ever go away, it will blink all day long.
You can run and exit Google Maps and it goes away.
So now I get to decide whether to have this "b
1 minute seems long to me too, 5-10 sec is a good generic interval if
you just want it to turn off quicker. Also remember that the GPS needs
a time *and* distance update interval.
But my question is this, have you sat down and watched to see if the
little satellite dish disappears after a minute?
I've been working with the location providers lately, I haven't seen
this behavior. When I deregister my listeners, the GPS icon goes away,
I haven't seen it stick around.
Even one minute intervals for GPS seems like a lot for me - I'm
guessing users won't be able to move fast enough in one minute
I'm looking to a solution using the MyLocationOverlay library where
one can use runOnFirstFix which can launch the thread (which I already
have) when the current location is found. Once it is found I can shut
down the location stuff as I only need it at the start of the program.

Really? Does Google Maps follow that guideline?
