locationManager.getLastKnownLocation() return null

Question

i dont understand why locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); return the location null. I gave all permission but its reutning null.

          if (isGPSEnabled) {
            if (location == null) {
                locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                        LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                        MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                        MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                Log.d("GPS", "GPS Enabled");
                if (locationManager != null) {
                    location = locationManager
                            .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                    if (location != null) {
                        latitude = location.getLatitude();
                        longitude = location.getLongitude();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

I had this exact same problem. It was because my device was not storing a last known location. I simply went on to Google Maps and pinpointed my location with GPS, then a value was returned for getLastKnownLocation()
