How to stop location manager?

Question

Don't know why, but sometimes LocationManager is still working also after closing application.

I call startGPS() in onCreate-Methode in one Activity (only one, let me call it StartActivity).

protected void startGPS(){      try {                 lmanager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);      lmanager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);      lmanager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);  } catch(Exception e) {      e.printStackTrace();  } } 

And if this activity will be destroyed (so, when application will be closed), I call endGPS()

public void endGPS(){  try {                 lmanager.removeUpdates(this);      lmanager=null;  } catch(Exception e) {   e.printStackTrace();  } } 

Some ideas, some suggestions, what have I done wrong?!

You should call the method removeUpdates inside the method onPause:

@Override protected void onPause() {     super.onPause();     locationManager.removeUpdates(this);     Log.i(TAG, "onPause, done"); }
