Broadcast Receiver when Location/GPS is called

Question

Is there any Broadcast, Intent-Filter for location, network, gps, Google? I mean like a Firewall. I want to intercept any app which tries to localize your cellphone.

Answer 1

You can use the passive location provider to get informed every time an app receives a location update.

This, however, will not let you intercept location updates in a way that "consumes" them.
