Android: Permission to use Geolocation

There is an application using geolocation. It has a check for on/off geolocation permission. And if geolocation is disabled, it sends it to the phone settings in this way:

  public void onClickLocationSettings() {
        startActivity(new Intent(
                android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
    }

But when testing on Android 8.0, it turned out that this is not the same setting and geolocation for the app is already enabled in a different place.

Question: how do I universally refer to "geolocation permission for my specific application"?

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                        && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    // делаем что-то, если геолокация не включена
    }

And here is the code to prompt the user to enable geolocation 

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
                                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                                    MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);

I will add a little, I have a problem on Android 10 that the service does not get access to the location in the background. Add to the manifest

<service
    android:foregroundServiceType="location"/>

And in the permissions

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
  Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

// Permission is not granted
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(thisActivity,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION )) {
    // Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
    // this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
    // sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
    // No explanation needed; request the permission
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
            new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION },
            MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);

    // MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
    // app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
    // result of the request.
}} else {
// Permission has already been granted}

//and need to add to the manifest
