* An abstract superclass for location providers. A location provider
* provides periodic reports on the geographical location of the
* device.
*
* Each provider has a set of criteria under which it may be used;
* for example, some providers require GPS hardware and visibility to
* a number of satellites; others require the use of the cellular
* radio, or access to a specific carrier's network, or to the
* internet. They may also have different battery consumption
* characteristics or monetary costs to the user. The {@link
* Criteria} class allows providers to be selected based on
* user-specified criteria.
