@shailen @codingjeremy @samtstern Can you take a look at this please? It is really easy to reproduce... just install the LocationUpdates, deny location permission, hit OK on the snackbar prompt, and then "Deny & don't ask again". It will go into the infinite loop.

My walk around is to move the part of checking permission from onResume() to onStart()

@Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        // Within {@code onPause()}, we remove location updates. Here, we resume receiving
        // location updates if the user has requested them.
        if (mRequestingLocationUpdates && checkPermissions()) {
            startLocationUpdates();
        } else {
            requestPermissions();
        }

        updateUI();
    }
