Hi Davy, I'm researching doing something similar.
Have you seen this method: http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/LocationClient.html#removeLocationUpdates(android.app.PendingIntent) ..it seems to be the counterpart of the method you are calling in your question, namely: http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/LocationClient.html#requestLocationUpdates(com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent) Thanks, Shiraz.
