Which Android version?
Compatibility or AOSP mode?

I have looked into this and it appears that requesting location updates by means of intents (this is what BP2 does, which is not very common) cannot be restricted in AOSP mode. I couldn't find the direct reason, but I am afraid the local location manager is handling the updates, which means this can only be solved by switching to compatibility mode.

I will investigate this further next week.

The location manager is not handling this locally:

Investigating further ...

None of the location restrictions seem to work at all ...
