Network or GPS provider doesn't exist on some devices, so if you start corresponding services, it doesn't work. It's better to check with an if statement like this:

if(locationManager.getAllProviders().contains("network")) {
     locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, time, distance, this);
}

worked perfectly fine
