Add the permission check in your activity:

in your code:

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pig);
    TextView cow = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cow);
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, 0);
    }
    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    if (checkLocationPermission()) {
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10000, 1, this);
    }


}

public boolean checkLocationPermission() {
    String permission = "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION";
    int res = this.checkCallingOrSelfPermission(permission);
    return (res == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                       String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {

        case 0: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            } else {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

}
