Android LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation() returns null

by

The call to request update for a location is not blocking, hence it wont wait there. Also the provider in emulator may not have been started.

A possible check could be to see if the settings in it disable gps provider ? then send geo fix.

However, I would use Location Listener, it would be ideal in your case since you need a geo fix to proceed further.Location Listener is Used for receiving notifications from the LocationManager when the location has changed. You can unregister the listener after first geofix.

Note: It can take some time on device to get current location, and even on device this can return null.
