NETWORK_PROVIDER not worked in android versions 4.0 & above / API level 14 & above

Question

In android 4.0 & above a call to

LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, listener)

is giving exception as

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider=network.

Even if the network is enabled, the same exception occurs.

I know this is a reported issue (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19857).

My question is.

How to get location by network provider or any other method (not GPS) in android 4.0 & above ?
