1) Don't your own smartphone include a GPS?
2) Android has a Listener included called LocationListener that is just what you want. You can find the docs here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationListener.html
How to do this: First create a LocationManager. Then a LocationListener and add the listener to the manager. A method that could be good to use is:
LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener)
Which can be found in the documentation of LocationManager.

1.) Yes, but I need a GPS tracker device in a case where Android Phones are not allowed in a establishment. 2.) Ok, thanks for the tip! – Paul Joseph Dar Santos Jul 31 '17 at 06:16
