Android contains a permission called 'ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS'. Normal location commands would involve accessing coarse/fine location. Does anyone know what kind of extra commands this permission allows the app to access ?
Thanks.

If your app needs to access the user's location, you must request permission by adding the relevant Android location permissions to your app. Android offers two location permissions: ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION . The permission you choose determines the accuracy of the location returned by the API.
Specifies a system permission that the user must grant in order for the app to operate correctly. Permissions are granted by the user when the application is installed (on devices running Android 5.1 and lower) or while the app is running (on devices running Android 6.0 and higher).
Reading phone state (READ_PHONE_STATE) lets the app know your phone number, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls and so on. Make calls (CALL_PHONE). Read the list of calls (READ_CALL_LOG).
Most of these are pretty self-explanatory---for instance, the SMS permission lets apps read and send text messages---but you'll see descriptions at the top of each page if you're not sure. Tap a permission and under Allowed, you'll see every app that you've approved to use that function.
I only know of 1 command which can be uses when you have a slow GPS fix:
((LocationManager)YourActivity.this.getSystemService("location")).sendExtraCommand("gps", "delete_aiding_data", null); and in the Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" /> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
