How to get the fresh location ping in android using location listener

Question

What I am doing: Using the below class to get the lat/lng from android mobile

What is happening: Code always gives the last known location. How to make a new fresh new location ping using the below code.

LocationTracker.java

public class LocationTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

    private final Context mContext;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

    // flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location location; // location
    double latitude; // latitude
    double longitude; // longitude
    float accuracy;

    public float getAccuracy() {
        return accuracy;
    }

    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters

    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 10; // 1 minute

    // Declaring a Location Manager
    protected LocationManager locationManager;

    public LocationTracker(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;
        getLocation();
    }

    public Location getLocation() {
        try {
            locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                    .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

            // getting GPS status
            isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

            // getting network status
            isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {

Replace

location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

By

location = locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                    MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES , MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES , this);
