Avoid removing the TestProvider from the Mock Location

I'm trying to mock location for use in another application, but that application is removing my TestProvider, making it impossible to mock the location.

How can I prevent this other app from removing my TestProvider ?

The code that the other application is running to prevent mock is:

private void BuscarLocalizacaoAtual(String provider, LocationListener locationListener) {
    try {
        this.locationManager.removeTestProvider(provider);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
    this.locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, time, 0.0f, locationListener);
}

* I would like to initially get around this problem through an apk. I know I could do this by editing the operating system.

It seems the only way to do this is to use a mock location provider.

You need to enable dummy sites in the development panel and their add-on settings to your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

Now you can go into your code and create your own fake location provider and set the location of the provider.
