            Toast.makeText(context, "in android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Working solution after Android location modes are introduced in Android

We can check with location mode for more accurate

private boolean isGpsEnabled(Context context) {
            ContentResolver contentResolver = getContext().getContentResolver();
            // Find out what the settings say about which providers are enabled
            //  String locationMode = "Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF";
            int mode = Settings.Secure.getInt(
                    contentResolver, Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE, Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF);
            if (mode != Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF) {
                return true;
               /* if (mode == Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_HIGH_ACCURACY) {
                    locationMode = "High accuracy. Uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks to determine location";
                } else if (mode == Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_SENSORS_ONLY) {
                    locationMode = "Device only. Uses GPS to determine location";
                } else if (mode == Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_BATTERY_SAVING) {
                    locationMode = "Battery saving. Uses Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine location";
                }*/
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
