- fully compatible with android 5.x lollipop (please note: it is only working with android 5!)
- activate location services (network, gps and wlan) when you start/open a gps app
- deactivate location services after 10 seconds after you closed the gps app
- location services will stay active when a selected gps app is running and you turn off display (you are able to use a running google maps navigation with display off!)
- periodic location update (might be useful for widgets like cyanogenmods cLock which shows your actual location)
- activate location services by sending you a message which contains a codeword choosen by yourself (so you can use security apps like google location manager to find, track, erase or lock your phone)
- notification in statusbar when you manually activate location services an no gps app is running; you can deactivate location services by clicking the action

Instructions:
- update automagic to the newest version
- open automagic go to manage - preferences - and check "Hide setting confirmation"
- download the flows and import them
- open flow "Activate location services with notification" (German "Standortdienste aktivieren durch eine Benachrichtigung") and then you have to set a codeword by your own choice in both triggers; when you send a message to your phone (sms, whatsapp, gmail) which contains your codeword (in gmail codeword in subject) the location services will be activated
- activate all flows except flow "Set location services off after receiving notification" (German "Standortdienste nach Aktivierung mit SMS wieder deaktivieren")
To change the gps apps do the following steps:
- open flow "Set location services on" ("Standortdienste an")
- open trigger "Gps app active" and chosse your apps and then press save
- open flow "Set location services off" ("Standortdienste aus")
- open trigger "gps app off" and choose your apps and then press save
- open in this flow condition "gps app active" and choose your apps an press save and click "all usages"
Please Note:
I am working with notifications in statusbar and they got the notification ID 16 and 19. Please check if you are using this IDs in other flows. If so you should change the notification IDs.
To change your gps apps which will let location services active when you shut off display open flow "Set Location Services off" and then open condition "App process running" and choose your navigation/gps app and press save. I have set Google Maps, Nokia Here and Navfree by default in this flow.
The periodic update timer ist set to 4 hours by default, You can change this in the trigger in flow "Periodic location update with high accuracy"
Have fun
