Anyone have any ideas why my GPS icon stays up even after i close my app?

How do I get the app to recognize when the back button was pressed to exit the program?
that way i can use

locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
locationManager = null;
finish();

You can listen key press

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){} // back key

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME){} //home key

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

But after "locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);" GPS icon is not removed from StatusBar (almost in emulator).

Is that normal???

Thanks

maybe it is the finish(); in my quit menu button that is making the GPS icon go away and not the removeupdate..


anyways, i will try the code you posted today . thanks ^_^

Hmm, i dont think thats what i needed.

IS there a way to detect when the app was closed... For example, when you push the back button to get out of it?
