android locationManager continues to call onLocationChanged after removeUpdates

I've an app that gets a location fix. The app is to be rolled out to phones from Gingerbread up. Once the app gets a location fix a toast message is displayed to the user. The problem is when the user moves to the next activity the toast message appears maybe ten more times. I think i've implemented the lifecycles correctly eg 1) get a location manager in onCreate() 2) create and pass a location listener to the manager in onResume() 3) remove updates in onStop() I understand i can bypass this problem in Android > 4.x by calling ``` mlocManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, mlocListener, null); ``` but i have to accommodate Gingerbread so calling a single request is not in api 2.3.x. It works fine on Android 4 but on gingerbread the onLocationChanged method keeps executing another 10 times. How can i force the onLocationChanged method to run only once on gingerbread? thanks. [edit] I've noticed that when i move to the next activity the onlocationchanged method keeps executing but if i move to a further activity then the location requests are successfully removed ``` @Override protected void onStop() { mlocManager.removeUpdates(mlocListener); mlocListener = null; super.onStop(); } @Override protected void onResume() { mlocListener = new MyLocationListener(); if(isCompOptionsReceived == true){ if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD_MR1) { mlocManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, mlocListener, null); }else{ mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener); } } super.onResume(); } private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener { @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { //toast message } @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { } @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) { } @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) { } }//end of MyLocationListener @Override protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); nfcscannerapplication = (NfcScannerApplication) getApplication(); sIs = savedInstanceState; setContentView(R.layout.entryscreen); mlocManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); ```
