Not able to update location while using google map api in android

Question

I wanted to use google map integration in my app. I use location manager and location listener to update the current user location. But the location listener not working in my code. Thanks for the help in anticipation.

Please, somebody, tell me why my location listener not giving the current location and on calling location manager.getLastKnownLocation() it return null every time.

Java code:

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_passenger);
        // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    }


    /**
     * Manipulates the map once available.
     * This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
     * This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,

     * If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
     * it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
