Strange behavior related to FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates()

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hello guys! I'm new here, nice to meet you all!

I'm writing a Android app and there's a strange behavior related to FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates() that I've searched on SO and none of the other related questions solved my problem.

Apparently the requestLocationUpdates do not trigger the onLocationChanged() method all the times; I'm saying this because I'm cleaning my app's data on emulator for each run and sometimes the onLocationChanged() is triggered, sometimes not (most of under some conditions like run the app for the second time w/o cleaning the app's data or after making a user data's wipe i.e)

After some debugging I've seen the requestLocationUpdates is not returning a non null object and not triggering onLocationChanged()

Below you can find my code (links from pastebin, I don't want to create any visual overload here)

Main Activity: http://pastebin.com/Vr85bxSx

MapHandler: http://pastebin.com/HELnhaxy

Another problem is, oddly enough, if I use a anonymous inner class in the MapHandler in the method displayLocation(), the app works, but if I use a external class who extends LocationListener the app do not behave correctly

I know the expected question levels in SO are high but I'm starting my studies about Android development and this issue is taking my sleep away

Btw here is my AndroidManifest
