Flutterlocation: serviceEnabled return true in Android level 28

[KingWu]

Describe the bug
1) Disable GPS
2) Call serviceEnabled
3) Return true

Expected behavior
Return false

Tested on:

• Android, API Level 28. Real device - MI 9

I face the same behavior, and after checking multiple alternatives seems most of Flutter plugins behave the same way

To fix this, there are two concepts need to be separated

• Location Service is Enabled (Android can get location from other services than GPS not sure about IOS)
• GPS Service is Enabled to be more specific on checking GPS is enabled or not

I think this issue on other project can add more context

As an extra note, I just pushed a PR to fix this issue

Seems to be working for me. What do you mean by Disable GPS?

You do know that it is an async function and you have to await it, right?

[KingWu]

@aleksandr-m Just pull down the menu at the Android home page. Then click a 'GPS icon' to turn off it.

i add await already. Still have the issue. Not all android devices has this issue.

This is still an issue, getLocation only returns if device has been set to HIGH.
serviceEnabled always returns true, even when gps has been turned off on device.

Sounds related to #239.
