Sorry for the delay replying, only just noticed this. Have you seen this again 
since? It's inside the Android core LocationManager library which of course 
shouldn't happen.

it is happening on very rare occasions don't know possible rooted devices.

offtopic

have you received some reports that your lib is draining battery becouse of
gps is alive ? i had some htc jellybean device reports ...
i fixed that by adding fev lines that kill singleRequestUpdate in
LocationBroadcastService #134 after a while

locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(criteria, oneshotReceiver);

                if (LocationLibrary.showDebugOutput)
Log.d(LocationLibraryConstants.TAG, TAG + ": schedule timer to kill
locationlistener");

                new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask(){

                public void run(){

                try{

                if (LocationLibrary.showDebugOutput)
Log.d(LocationLibraryConstants.TAG, TAG + ": remove updates after minute");

                locationManager.removeUpdates(oneshotReceiver);

                }catch(Exception e){

                e.printStackTrace();

                }

                }

                }, 60000);

Android 4.2.1 never stops asking for a one-shot update. This looks like a good 
solution to it. I will include this in a future release. Probably within the 
next month. Thanks for the tip!

I implemented your excellent "off-topic" suggestion in v15 :-)
