Android Geofence detection sample app closes when i turn off location services

Question

I installed and tested the sample app geofence detection. In my experience i registered geofence keeping location services On.Once i turn Off the location service the app get closed and a alert dialog appears Unfortunately, "Geofence Detection has stopped. OK.". If any one experienced this please explain how we can block that and what might be the problem.
