Android does this routinely with wifi listening, if not GPS. It's a feature, and you can't turn it off. Haven't tested if GPS spoofing (a debug interface) overrides that.

Iphones now do this too, privacy violation by relay to nearby iPhones, over Bluetooth and possibly with the new mm wave RADAR too.
