Checking that GPS is paused after turning screen off? I suspect a maps-based application I use doesn't actually pause GPS after I turn the screen off like it's supposed to, draining the battery accordingly.

Is there a way to check the status of GPS after the screen is turned off?

Thank you.
Macrodroid automation app may help by giving you a audio notification under the twin conditions of ( app being active, GPS being enabled ) when the screen is turned off

Trigger: Screen off

Action:  

If 

app state of your app ( choose from running in background / not in foreground / alive in background /not running- in the example below it is App in foreground)

And

GPS enabled

add child action of Notification sound, 

end if

Constraints: None
