How to time out GPS signal acquisition

My app uses the LocationListener to get one position fix and then removeUpdates() once every minute (to conserve battery). The problem is that if a user moves inside then it will perpetually look for a signal, burning more battery. I was wondering if anyone knows of a public method within Location Manager I can use to removeUpdates if a signal isn't acquired within 15 seconds. I would then check for a position fix every five minutes until the user moves back outdoors. Does this make sense? Maybe there is a better method to timeout GPS signal acquisition? I have looked through the Location Manager public methods but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Thanks so much for your help! -Dom
