How to get Android GPS location

This code have one problem:

int latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude());
int longitude = (int) (location.getLongitude());

You can change int to double

double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();

Here's your problem:

int latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude());
int longitude = (int) (location.getLongitude());

Latitude and Longitude are double-values, because they represent the location in degrees.

By casting them to int, you're discarding everything behind the comma, which makes a big difference. See "Decimal Degrees - Wiki"

Give it a try :

public LatLng getLocation()
    {
     // Get the location manager
     LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
     Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
     String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
     Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
     Double lat,lon;
     try {
       lat = location.getLatitude ();
       lon = location.getLongitude ();
       return new LatLng(lat, lon);
     }
     catch (NullPointerException e){
         e.printStackTrace();
       return null;
     }
    }

The initial issue is solved by changing lat and lon to double.

I want to add comment to solution with Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider); It works to find out last known location when other app was lisnerning for that. If, for example, no app did that since device start, the code will return zeros (spent some time myself recently to figure that out).

Also, it's a good practice to stop listening when there is no need for that by locationManager.removeUpdates(this);

Also, even with permissions in manifest, the code works when location service is enabled in Android settings on a device.
