Why is FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation null

by

The fused location provider will only maintain background location if at least one client is connected to it. Now just turning on the location service will not guarantee storing the last known location.

Once the first client connects, it will immediately try to get a location.
If your activity is the first client to connect and getLastLocation() is invoked right away in onConnected(), that might not be enough time for the first location to arrive..

Then you are setting mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(30000); which basically means 30 seconds. so at least 30 seconds after and generally according to your setting preferred time is 120 secs, isn’t it a very long time if there is no stored last known location at all? plus you are setting battery balanced priority, which will make you waiting longer time.

mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);

I suggest you to launch Maps app first, so that there is at least some confirmed location and then test your app.
