Check if location is enabled without opening modal

It will be nice to have a function that only checks if the location is turned on instead of asking to turn it on.

Useful in case for localize icons such as Google Maps. if GPS is off, localize the show question mark icon.

You can use this package for that: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions

Permissions.check('location' ).then(response => {
  // response is: 'authorized', 'denied', 'restricted', or 'undetermined'
});

Ok, why not. I'll add the function as soon as possible.

@gianpaj from what I understand it is not a good solution. As the user can give location permission but the gps can still be turned off..we need to check if the gps is on..is there a method to do that?
