Solution

  • You could invoke the corresponding system dialog.

    Check if GPS is available, if not, navigate to system Settings to turn it on.

     protected override void OnResume()
        {
            base.OnResume();
            checkGPSEnabled();
        }
    
     private void checkGPSEnabled()
        {
            LocationManager manager = GetSystemService(Context.LocationService) as LocationManager;
            if (!manager.IsProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GpsProvider))
            {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Android.Provider.Settings.ActionLocat‌​ionSourceSettings);
                intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.ClearTop | ActivityFlags.NewTask);
                StartActivity(intent);
            }
        }
