Description
What is the correct way to implement in Java or Kotlin:
if (IsMicroGInstalled())
// …
else
// …
?
Context: To disable the use of Google Fused Provider in Organic Maps when MicroG is installed, because MicroG, for some reason (not being installed with a system permission?), doesn't handle it properly.

P.S. Sorry for creating the issue. I did not find any other way to contact MicroG contributors (Discussions are disabled).

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the linked MicroG and Organic Maps issues, then identify the Android-side integration point for Google Fused Provider and define how detection should affect its use; done means an agreed, tested way to distinguish MicroG from Google Location Services.
