For anyone interested in retrieving a single location update, in the best, idiomatic way, using the latest APIs, and the magic of Kotlin, here you go:

Gradle dependency:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:18.0.0"
    ...
}

Manifest permissions:

<manifest>
    ...
    <!-- required only for LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> 
    <!-- required for all other priorities -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    ...
</manifest>

Somewhere in your Extensions file:

// To use PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY, you must have ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
// Any other priority will require just ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
// but will not guarantee a location update
@SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
suspend fun FusedLocationProviderClient.awaitCurrentLocation(priority: Int): Location? {
    return suspendCancellableCoroutine {
        // to use for request cancellation upon coroutine cancellation
        val cts = CancellationTokenSource()
        getCurrentLocation(priority, cts.token)
            .addOnSuccessListener {location ->
                // remember location is nullable, this happens sometimes
                // when the request expires before an update is acquired
                it.resume(location)
            }.addOnFailureListener {e ->
                it.resumeWithException(e)
            }

        it.invokeOnCancellation {
            cts.cancel()
        }
    }
}

In your fragment:

// need to register this anywhere before onCreateView, idealy as a field
private val permissionRequester = registerForActivityResult(
    // you can use RequestPermission() contract if you only need 1 permission
    ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()
) { map ->
    // If you requested 1 permission, change `map` to `isGranted`
    // Keys are permissions Strings, values are isGranted Booleans
    // An easy way to check if "any" permission was granted is map.containsValue(true)
    // You can use your own logic for multiple permissions, 
    // but they have to follow the same checks here:
    val response = map.entries.first()
    val permission = response.key
    val isGranted = response.value
    when {
        isGranted -> onPermissionGranted()
        ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(requireContext(), permission) -> {
            // permission denied but not permanently, tell user why you need it. 
            // Idealy provide a button to request it again and another to dismiss
            AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext())
                .setTitle(R.string.perm_request_rationale_title)
                .setMessage(R.string.perm_request_rationale)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.request_perm_again) { _, _ -> 
                     requirePermission() 
                }
                .setNegativeButton(R.string.dismiss, null)
                .create()
                .show()
        } 
        else -> {
            // permission permanently denied
            // 1) tell user the app won't work as expected, or
            // 2) take him to your app's info screen to manually change permissions, or
            // 3) silently and gracefully degrade user experience
            // I'll leave the implementation to you
        }
    }
}

onPermissionGranted function:

private fun onPermissionGranted() {
    val lm = requireContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
    if(LocationManagerCompat.isLocationEnabled(lm)) {
        // you can do this your own way, eg. from a viewModel
        // but here is where you wanna start the coroutine.
        // Choose your priority based on the permission you required
        val priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
        lifecycleScope.launch {
            val location = LocationServices
                .getFusedLocationProviderClient(requireContext())
                .awaitCurrentLocation(priority)
            // do whatever with this location, notice that it's nullable
        }
    } else {
        // prompt user to enable location or launch location settings check
    }
}

Now all you have to do is add this to MyLocation button click listener:

private fun requirePermission() {
    val permissions = arrayOf(
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
        // optional: Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
    )
    permissionRequester.launch(permissions)
}

Note that this has the beauty of checking if the permission was already given implicitly, and not show a dialog/request if that was the case. Ergo, always start your flow by launching the requester and only do your checks in its callback.

First check if the last know location is recent. If not, I believe you must to set up onLocationChanged listener, but once you get your first valid location you can always stop the stream of updates.

Addition

public class Example extends Activity implements LocationListener {
    LocationManager mLocationManager;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        Location location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        if(location != null && location.getTime() > Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - 2 * 60 * 1000) {
            // Do something with the recent location fix
            //  otherwise wait for the update below
        }
        else {
            mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
        }
    }

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        if (location != null) {
            Log.v("Location Changed", location.getLatitude() + " and " + location.getLongitude());
            mLocationManager.removeUpdates(this);
        }
    }

    // Required functions    
    public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {}
    public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {}
    public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) {}
}

You can do this with LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation

public LocationManager locationManager;

try { 
 locationManager.requestSingleUpdate( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, new MyLocationListenerGPS(), null );  
} catch ( SecurityException e ) { e.printStackTrace(); }

public class MyLocationListenerGPS implements LocationListener {
 @Override
 public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
 // your code and required methods go here...
}

Using 'null' in 'requestSingleUpdate' keeps the update check on the same thread (for use in a service). The method allows for you to put it in a Looper if you're running it from an activity. I would think that using an async task would be the better approach.

you need to request location updates try the following for instance

    val fusedLocationProviderClient =
        LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(activity)
    val locationCallback = object : LocationCallback() {
        override fun onLocationResult(locationResult: LocationResult) {
            val location = locationResult.lastLocation
            if (location != null) {
                val latitude = location.latitude
                val longitude = location.longitude

                // Use latitude and longitude for your purposes
                Log.d("Location", "Latitude: $latitude, Longitude: $longitude")

                // Remove location updates after receiving one
                fusedLocationProviderClient.removeLocationUpdates(this)
            } else {
                Log.w("Location", "Failed to get location update")
            }
        }
    }

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
            activity,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
        ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
    ) {
        // Request permissions if not granted
        val permissions = arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
        activity.requestPermissions(permissions, LOCATION_PERMISSION_CODE)
        return
    }

    val locationRequest =
        LocationRequest.Builder(0L).setPriority(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY).build()

    fusedLocationProviderClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback, null)

You need to write code in the OnLocationChanged method, because this method is called when the location has changed. I.e. you need to save the new location to return it if getLocation is called.

If you don't use the onLocationChanged it always will be the old location.

There are already many answers there but I want to show latest way to get location using Google API, so new programmers can use new method:

I have written detailed tutorial on current location in android at my blog demonuts.com You can also find full source code developed with android studio.

First of all, put this in gradle file

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.2'

then implement necessary interfaces

public class MainActivity  extends BaseActivitiy implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener

declare instances

  private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
  private Location mLocation;
  private LocationManager locationManager;
  private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;

put this in onCreate()

 mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .build();
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

At last, override necessary methods

 @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            return;
        } startLocationUpdates();
        mLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
        if(mLocation == null){
            startLocationUpdates();
        }
        if (mLocation != null) {
            double latitude = mLocation.getLatitude();
            double longitude = mLocation.getLongitude();
        } else {
            // Toast.makeText(this, "Location not Detected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    protected void startLocationUpdates() {
        // Create the location request
        mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
                .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
                .setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL)
                .setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
        // Request location updates
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            return;
        }
        LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient,
                mLocationRequest, this);
        Log.d("reque", "--->>>>");
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Connection Suspended");
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed. Error: " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
            mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
        }
    }
    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

    }

Don't forget to start GPS in your device before running app.
