To verify that the option is enabled:
private boolean isMockSettingsON() {
return !Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION).equals("0");
}
To send the user to the dev menu:
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);

Complementing the response, the object Location has an information property if it was generated by mock, isFromMockProvider .
This is available from API 18.
Example:
if(!location.isFromMockProvider()){
// Esta localização não foi gerada por um simulador
}
