Find location source using Fused Location Provider

AFAIK, fused location provider can use network or gps data depending on different conditions. Is it possible to find which exact location data source (WiFi, Cellular, GPS) was used after getting location with fused location provider? All I want is to show some notification on screen about the source of location data, like it's done in 2Gis app.
