** A passive provider receives location updates if, and only if, another application requests them, letting your application passively receive location updates without activating any Location Provider.
1. Get a Reference to LocationManager named myLocationManager.
4. Add the below line to the onCreate method. This will request the Passive Provider named myPassiveProvider to request location updates every 0 milliseconds, and 0 meters and use the LocationListener named myLocationListener for the results.
