Description
Describe the bug
While roaming, the location stays on indefinitely. Toggling the location off/on doesn't solve the problem. The list of apps using location didn't show any other app that may have caused the location request. No location-requiring app in foreground.
The location indicator went off as soon as I got back to the home network.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go under roaming
- Note the location indicator staying on
- Check last request in microG > Location
Expected behavior
The location should not stay on indefinitely when roaming.

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the issue on Android 13 with microG 0.3.6.244735 while roaming, then inspect the microG > Location last-request information and compare it with behavior on the home network. Done means identifying the roaming-triggered location request and confirming that the location indicator stops when no location-requiring app is active.
