Under protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {:

  return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
    new MainReactPackage(),
    new LocationServicesDialogBoxPackage() // <== this
  );

Usage

import { BackHandler, DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native';
import LocationServicesDialogBox from "react-native-android-location-services-dialog-box";

LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({
    message: "<h2>Use Location ?</h2>This app wants to change your device settings:<br/><br/>Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell network for location<br/><br/><a href='#'>Learn more</a>",
    ok: "YES",
    cancel: "NO",
    enableHighAccuracy: true, // true => GPS AND NETWORK PROVIDER, false => GPS OR NETWORK PROVIDER
    showDialog: true, // false => Opens the Location access page directly
    openLocationServices: true, // false => Directly catch method is called if location services are turned off
    preventOutSideTouch: false, // true => To prevent the location services window from closing when it is clicked outside
    preventBackClick: false, // true => To prevent the location services popup from closing when it is clicked back button
    providerListener: false // true ==> Trigger locationProviderStatusChange listener when the location state changes
}).then(function(success) {
    console.log(success); // success => {alreadyEnabled: false, enabled: true, status: "enabled"}
}).catch((error) => {
    console.log(error.message); // error.message => "disabled"
});

BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', () => { //(optional) you can use it if you need it
   LocationServicesDialogBox.forceCloseDialog();
});

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('locationProviderStatusChange', function(status) { // only trigger when "providerListener" is enabled
    console.log(status); //  status => {enabled: false, status: "disabled"} or {enabled: true, status: "enabled"}
});

componentWillUnmount() {
    // used only when "providerListener" is enabled
    LocationServicesDialogBox.stopListener(); // Stop the "locationProviderStatusChange" listener
}

Usage And Example For Async Method ES6

import { BackHandler, DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native';
import LocationServicesDialogBox from "react-native-android-location-services-dialog-box";

export default class LocationServiceTestPage extends Component {
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
        
        this.checkIsLocation().catch(error => error);
        
        BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', () => { //(optional) you can use it if you need it
           LocationServicesDialogBox.forceCloseDialog();
        });
        
        DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('locationProviderStatusChange', function(status) { // only trigger when "providerListener" is enabled
            console.log(status); //  status => {enabled: false, status: "disabled"} or {enabled: true, status: "enabled"}
        });
    }
    
    async checkIsLocation():Promise {
        let check = await LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({
            message: "Use Location ?",
            ok: "YES",
            cancel: "NO",
            enableHighAccuracy: true, // true => GPS AND NETWORK PROVIDER, false => GPS OR NETWORK PROVIDER
            showDialog: true, // false => Opens the Location access page directly
            openLocationServices: true, // false => Directly catch method is called if location services are turned off
            preventOutSideTouch: false, //true => To prevent the location services window from closing when it is clicked outside
            preventBackClick: false, //true => To prevent the location services popup from closing when it is clicked back button
            providerListener: true // true ==> Trigger "locationProviderStatusChange" listener when the location state changes
        }).catch(error => error);

        return Object.is(check.status, "enabled");
    }
    
    componentWillUnmount() {
        // used only when "providerListener" is enabled
        LocationServicesDialogBox.stopListener(); // Stop the "locationProviderStatusChange" listener
    }   
}
