Hi
I have used Android 4.2 and when the GPS is finding a location the notification at the top is distinct from when it has found a location. It flashed when it was finding a location, and was still when it had found a location. I liked them being distinct.
They in a later version they changed that, apparently because having an animated icon at the top there was not good for battery life.
Though it was useful to have distinct icons.. And the later version didn't have any way of telling while glancing at the screen notification icons at the top, whether the GPS signal was found yet or not.
I avoided upgrading because of this but it seems I may have to upgrade because one piece of software that I want requires a later android version.
My question is..
How does android now notify when GPS finds location?
