Google map using api

Since you are talking about Android platform, Google has done this job and they are providing samples + tutorials for you to easily get started with what you want to do in the activity.

Android supports these with the LocationListener object, or the Fused location listener that is provided with Google Play Services API. You should consider the Play Services library for Location APIs, as they are more battery efficient and can easily provide location information to your app.

This is the complete tutorial from Google, https://developer.android.com/training/location/index.html, it also contains the sample (see the right side of the tutorial) with each of the page, or you can get started here, https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location/tree/master/BasicLocationSample.
