Flutterlocation: Stuck at await _locationService.getLocation(); When GPS is off

[indrsidhu]

Describe the bug
I simplified code with this example
When GPS is off by default, await location.getLocation() stuck it never return
any next print statement never execute.
But When I enable GPS by default and launch application then it works

try{
      currentLocation = await location.getLocation();
      print("*******WORKING******");
 } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      print("*******PLATFORM EXCEPTION RETURNED******");
    }

Expected behavior
It should not be stuck under await, either it should throw an exception which I already handling

Tested on:

• Android, API Level XX [e.g. 28], simulator or real device
• Android, Emulator

Other plugins:

• List of others Flutter plugins that could interfere
  http: ^0.12.0+2
  location: ^2.3.5
  google_maps_flutter: ^0.4.0

I got the same problem.

For now, I use this solution, This is a bad way but it works.

It is happening to me only on Android even if GPS is on and location is shared.
