You can use this method to run commands
private void runShellCommand(String command) throws Exception { Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); process.waitFor(); } answered Jul 30, 2015 at 19:00

- No rooted device won't solve the problem @Eugenio LopezCommentedSep 12, 2019 at 10:36
- @HaiHw -> just write the command it self : for example :use "settings put secure location_providers_allowed" instead of "adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed..."CommentedDec 31, 2022 at 11:03
OK you will be needing Runtime class. There is a good tutorial on executing shell commands here. For a quick answer, try this:
String commandToRun = "adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps, wifi,network a broadcast -a android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE --ez enabled true"; Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandToRun);
