How to show enable location dialog like Google maps?

Question

LocationSettingsRequest.Builder has a method setAlwaysShow(boolean show). While the document indicates it's currently doing nothing(updated 2015-07-05: updated Google documentation has removed this wording), setting builder.setAlwaysShow(true); will enable Google Maps behavior:

Here's the code that got it working:

if (googleApiClient == null) {
    googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())
            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
    googleApiClient.connect();

    LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
    locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
    locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
    LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
            .addLocationRequest(locationRequest);

    //**************************
    builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient
    //**************************

    PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
            LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
    result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
            final Status status = result.getStatus();
            final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
            switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
                    // All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
                    // requests here.
                    break;
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                    // Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
                    // a dialog.
                    try {
                        // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
                        // and check the result in onActivityResult().
                        status.startResolutionForResult(
                                getActivity(), 1000);
                    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                        // Ignore the error.
                    }
                    break;
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
                    // Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
                    // settings so we won't show the dialog.
                    break;
            }
        }
    });
}

I would like to add up some changes to kai's answer for those who are looking for handling Yes/No buttons.

Declare this constant in your activity

protected static final int REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS = 0x1;

call settingsrequest() in your onStart()

public void settingsrequest()
    {
        LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
        locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
        locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
        locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
        LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
                .addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
        builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient

        PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
                LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
        result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
                final Status status = result.getStatus();
                final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
                switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
                        // All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
                        // requests here.
                        break;
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                        // Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
                        // a dialog.
                        try {
                            // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
                            // and check the result in onActivityResult().
                            status.startResolutionForResult(MainActivity.this, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
                        } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                            // Ignore the error.
                        }
                        break;
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
                        // Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
                        // settings so we won't show the dialog.
                        break;
                }
            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        switch (requestCode) {
// Check for the integer request code originally supplied to startResolutionForResult().
            case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
                switch (resultCode) {
                    case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                        startLocationUpdates();
                        break;
                    case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
                        settingsrequest();//keep asking if imp or do whatever
                        break;
                }
                break;
        }
    }

LocationServices.SettingsApi is deprecated now, So We use SettingsClient

    LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
        mLocationRequest.setInterval(10);
        mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(10);
        mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(10);
        mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
        LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new 
        LocationSettingsRequest.Builder();
        builder.addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);

Then check whether current location settings are satisfied. Create the LocationSettingsResponse task:

        Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task=LocationServices.getSettingsClient(this).checkLocationSettings(builder.build());

Then add Listener

task.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<LocationSettingsResponse>() {
            @Override
                    public void onComplete(Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task) {
                        try {
                            LocationSettingsResponse response = task.getResult(ApiException.class);
                            // All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
                            // requests here.

                        } catch (ApiException exception) {
                            switch (exception.getStatusCode()) {
                                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                                    // Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the
                                    // user a dialog.
                                    try {
                                        // Cast to a resolvable exception.
                                        ResolvableApiException resolvable = (ResolvableApiException) exception;
                                        // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
                                        // and check the result in onActivityResult().
                                        resolvable.startResolutionForResult(
                                                HomeActivity.this,
                                                101);
                                    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                                        // Ignore the error.
                                    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
                                        // Ignore, should be an impossible error.
                                    }
                                    break;
                                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
                                    // Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
                                    // settings so we won't show the dialog.
                                    break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                });

Added onActivityResult

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        final LocationSettingsStates states = LocationSettingsStates.fromIntent(data);
        switch (requestCode) {
            case 101:
                switch (resultCode) {
                    case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                        // All required changes were successfully made
                        Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this,states.isLocationPresent()+"",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
                        // The user was asked to change settings, but chose not to
                        Toast.makeText(HomeActivity.this,"Canceled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
                break;
        }
    }

Ola Cabs is using the newly released Settings API to achieve this functionality. As per the new API the user is not required to navigate to the settings page to enable location services giving a seamless integration for the same. Please read below for more details:

You can also add several LocationRequests for Builder to achieve "Use GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks for location" dialog instead just "Use GPS for location"

LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
                .addLocationRequest(createLocationRequest(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY))
                .addLocationRequest(createLocationRequest(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY))
                .setAlwaysShow(true);

PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
                LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
