Google Maps - LastLocation Object returns null

Question

I am using Genymotion as my emulator and this is what I did to set my google maps project up:

1. Successfully downloaded googleplay services unto the emulator.
2. Enabled Locations in the emulator's settings
3. Signed into google in order to get google location history
4. Allow google to get the location history of the emulator

I also added all the permissions in my manifest file; here is the code for my Activity:

public class MapsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
    LocationListener,
    OnMapReadyCallback {

LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

LatLng latLng;
GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
SupportMapFragment mFragment;
Marker mCurrLocation;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    mFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mGoogleMap = googleMap;
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
            && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        return;
    } else {
        mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        buildGoogleApiClient();
    }
}

protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
    Toast.makeText(this, "buildGoogleApiClient", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
            .build();
    mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        return;
    }
    else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "onConnected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
                mGoogleApiClient);
        if (mLastLocation != null) {
            //place marker at current position
            mGoogleMap.clear();
            latLng = new LatLng(mLastLocation.getLatitude(), mLastLocation.getLongitude());
            MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
            markerOptions.position(latLng);
            markerOptions.title("Current Position");
            markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));
            mCurrLocation = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "LastLocation is null", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

After running this multiple times, the Location Object (mLastLocation) always returns null. Any ideas why this is happening? does google not know the location of the emulator via my internet provider or some sort?
