Use a service launched from the BroadcastReceiver (the one you use to detect incoming SMS). The calls are the same. If you really need GPS coordinates (network isn't good enough), you'll need to call requestLocationUpdates on LocationManager and wait for the GPS to synch and call your listener. I've done the same thing for an app once, worked just fine.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Days of preparation dwindled to hours for Lance Armstrong, whose scheduled interview with Oprah Winfrey transformed his quiet upscale neighborhood into a destination for media awaiting word of an apology and for onlookers snapping souvenir photos.
While all this was going on Monday morning, Armstrong managed to slip away for a jog. He returned home by cutting through a neighbor's yard and hopping a fence.
After more than a decade of denying that he doped to win the Tour de France seven times, Armstrong was set to sit down Monday for what has been trumpeted as a "no-holds barred," 90-minute, question-and-answer session with Winfrey.
The cyclist will make a limited confession about his role as the head of a long-running scheme to dominate the prestigious bike race with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs, a person with knowledge of the situation has told The Associated Press.
Winfrey and her crew said they would film the interview at Armstrong's home and broadcast it Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Local and international news crews were staking out positions in front of Armstrong's Spanish-style villa. News crews began arriving before dawn, hoping to catch a glimpse of Winfrey or Armstrong.
If he was feeling any pressure, Armstrong hardly showed it during a jog under bright skies Sunday, even as members of his legal team began arriving one-by-one at his home.
"I'm calm, I'm at ease and ready to speak candidly," he told the AP, but declined to reveal how he would answer questions about the scandal that has shadowed his career like an angry storm cloud.
Armstrong was stripped of all seven Tour titles last year following a voluminous U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that portrayed him as a ruthless competitor, willing to go to any lengths to win the prestigious race. USADA chief executive Travis Tygart labeled the doping regimen allegedly carried out by the U.S. Postal Service team that Armstrong once led, "The most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
Yet Armstrong looked like just another runner getting in his roadwork when he talked to the AP, wearing a red jersey and black shorts, sunglasses and a white baseball cap pulled down to his eyes. Leaning into a reporter's car on the shoulder of a busy Austin road, he seemed unfazed by the attention and the news crews that made stops at his home. He cracked a few jokes about all the reporters vying for his attention, then added, "but now I want to finish my run," and took off down the road.
The interview with Winfrey will be Armstrong's first public response to the USADA report. Armstrong is not expected to provide a detailed account about his involvement, nor address in depth many of the specific allegations in the more than 1,000-page USADA report.
In a text to the AP on Saturday, Armstrong said: "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
After a federal investigation of the cyclist was dropped without charges being brought last year, USADA stepped in with an investigation of its own. The agency deposed 11 former teammates and accused Armstrong of masterminding a complex and brazen drug program that included steroids, blood boosters and a range of other performance-enhancers.
After he was stripped of his Tour titles, Armstrong defiantly tweeted a picture of himself on a couch at home with all seven of the yellow leader's jerseys on display in frames behind him. But the preponderance of evidence in the USADA report and pending legal challenges on several fronts apparently forced him to change tactics, and he still faces legal challenges.
Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. The Justice Department has yet to decide whether it will join the suit as a plaintiff.
The London-based Sunday Times also is suing Armstrong to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit. On Sunday, the newspaper took out a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune, offering Winfrey suggestions for what questions to ask Armstrong. Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million an arbitration panel awarded the cyclist in that dispute.
The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong's sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.
Many of his sponsors dropped Armstrong after the damning USADA report ? at the cost of tens of millions of dollars ? and soon after, he left the board of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity he founded in 1997. Armstrong is still said to be worth about $100 million.
Livestrong might be one reason Armstrong has decided to come forward with an apology and limited confession. The charity supports cancer patients and still faces an image problem because of its association with Armstrong. He also may be hoping a confession would allow him to return to competition in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career.
World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.

I cleared my throat.
?I?m Mary Lauren. This sounds a bit strange, but I lived here in this house until 1983. I was born here. Well, not here, in the hospital, but you know what I mean.?
My husband interrupted me. ?Just tell them what you want. Be nice, but they don?t need your life history,? he said.
?Ok, true.? I started over.
?Hi, I actually used to live in this house when I was a little girl. Would you mind if I took a few photographs? I don?t need to come in.?
?Better,? Matt told me. ?But I think you need to say why you need to take the pictures.?
This had been a sticking point. I was of the belief that as soon as I said the words ?internet? and ?blog? I?d have a door slammed promptly in my face. I?d planned to lie, a little white lie, really, and say that I was taking the pictures for a family scrapbook. Matt, always my moral superior, had disagreed.
Later that day as I drove up the winding hill I still wasn?t certain what I?d say. I just knew this: that I?d park my car where the old evergreen used to drop its needles on the drive. I?d walk past the mailbox where I?d once proudly placed a handwritten letter to my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Taylor, then up exactly 26 stairs. I?d walk across the spot where my Granddad had chopped a snake in two with a ax, then flung its body unceremoniously in the brush.
I?d approach the door. I?d knock. And the rest, as they say, would be history.
A few weeks before I?d declared that in 2013 I?d visit every home where I?d ever lived? 16 in all, spanning three states. It was an idea that had been inexplicably nagging at me, the way one might feel about quitting smoking or forwarding the laundry at 11 pm: like it or not, it simply had to be done.
At 35 I realized that I was approaching half time in my life, with as many years behind me as I?d likely have in front.? I was no longer filled with the self-doubt and insecurities of young adulthood. I was finally settled into the rhythms of family life. I?d reached a point professionally that finally felt like more than treading water. I was happily married, a mother to 3, and engaged in meaningful work as a freelance writer.
There was another side to the story, though.
I?d spent many years running from the truth. I?d lived a life based not in the reality of how things were, but in the fantasyland of how I?d wanted them to be instead. The truth was this: I had a master?s degree I wasn?t using, despite the student loan bill I paid on the 15th of every month. Four years earlier I?d quit my job as a social worker to become a stay at home mom, leaving me restless and unfulfilled. I?d started a blog about those experiences and begun writing in the margins of my days, and the words had unearthed one hundred wounds. Somehow, visiting the 16 places I?d called home would be my saving grace. I just knew it.
I just didn?t know what to say to the person on the other side of that door.
When my children were learning to count we made constant inventories of everything: How many raisins are in your bowl? One, two, three, four. Yes! There are four raisins! Coins, cookies?it didn?t matter. One of our favorite games had been counting each stair step we walked, saying the number in a sing-songy tone. I?d permanently filed the totals away in my mind? there were five steps to the front porch, for example, but only three down the back deck? despite the fact that I?d often forget more important numbers (my own cell phone number among them).? And so it was that I knew there were exactly 26 steps to the little red house on the hill from the driveway below.
It had been 30 years since I?d climbed those stairs.
When I pulled onto that dead-end street the first thing I?d noticed was the absence of a car in the driveway. I was relieved by the thought that there was likely no one at home.? Still, my pulse quickened as I counted, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and finally, twenty-six.
The front door was blocked with two little chairs and a patio table. It was clear that this was no longer the main entrance to the house. I paused to run my hands across the wrought-iron banister.
At age four, I?d opened the door from the living room, stepped onto the concrete slab of a porch, and gripped that same banister in my tiny hand. Inside that little red house on the hill I?d been an only child surrounded by adults. The carpet was shag, pea-green. The radio blared unceasingly in the kitchen. This is my first memory. I wish I was nine, I thought.
From my twin-sized bed as a child I could hear the whistle of the coal train and the shusshing of the cars on the highway heading out of town. Sometimes when I stood in the front yard of that little red house on the hill I could see a trail of airplane smoke criss-crossing the sky. I bet if I?d climbed the water tower that loomed above my neighborhood I?d have been able to see the river in the valley below. It, too, snaked its way to other places.
I spent my childhood on the hillside, barefoot and full of wonder at the woods around me. The leaves my mother could strip down to the veins. The flowers that grew wild on the hillside. I wondered at the neighbors, too: the elderly couple whose house always smelled of burnt coffee. The little boy next door whose father was there one day, gone the next. Brain cancer, I?d heard my parents whisper across the kitchen table.
A dog barked inside. There was another door on the side of the house, off the kitchen where I?d once eaten friend bologna sandwiches at a round wooden table. It?s funny the things you remember: the box of N?ICE throat lozenges in a drawer. The time I wrapped a pickle with lunchmeat and called it gourmet. The way my Granddad kept tomatoes in a tiny plot of land just outside the window, a far cry from the Kentucky tobacco farm he?d been forced to give up.
I made my way to the kitchen door. I rang the bell, made the dog bark more. A little sign read, ?Peace to all who enter here.? No one answered.
We moved from that house when I was just six. I remember the day the moving truck came, the way the men had complained about all those steps. My Granddad would soon move into a nursing home. Before long I?d have not one younger sibling, but two. I?d switch schools, make new friends.
As I grew my life expanded, but in my early childhood that house was the anchor to my world. Seeing it now, the same age my mother was when she lived there, was bittersweet.
I took a moment to say goodbye. I thought of the family living there now, wondered what their story was. I thought about that sign on the door, and all the lives that had passed through its threshold.
I thought of who I was at 6, the last time I said goodbye, and who I?d become in the decades since.
I thought of the long journey ahead. There were 15 doors still waiting.

ATLANTA (AP) ? Matt Ryan threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Tony Gonzalez as the Falcons took advantage of a fumble by Seattle's Marshawn Lynch to lead the Seahawks 10-0 after the first quarter of Sunday's NFC divisional playoff game.
The Falcons overcame an interception by Ryan to stretch their lead. Ryan's pass for Gonzalez was intercepted by Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, giving Seattle possession at its 33 midway through the quarter.
On first down from the 50, Lynch fumbled when hit by linebacker Sean Weatherspoon. Defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux recovered at the Atlanta 39 to set up the touchdown drive. Wagner was penalized for a horse-collar tackle on Turner, moving the Falcons to the Seattle 29.
Ryan completed a 16-yard pass to backup tight end Chase Coffman to the 1, setting up the touchdown pass to Gonzalez.
The Falcons held the ball for 11 plays on their opening drive, moving to the Seahawks 21. Ryan completed a 13-yard pass to Roddy White on the first third-down play of the drive. Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman made a last-second deflection on Ryan's pass for White in the end zone on third down from the 21, setting up Matt Bryant's 39-yard field goal.
Atlanta had success running the ball on the drive with Michael Turner, who had a 15-yard gain on his first run, and Jacquizz Rodgers, who had runs of 7 and 6 yards.
The Seahawks trailed 14-0 before rallying in last week's 24-14 victory over Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins in the opening round of the playoffs.

Making a real estate purchase is a big transaction for anyone, especially first-time home buyers. The commitment and expense can be stressful. Use the advice contained in this article so that you have the most success and ease any of your concerns.
When you are in real estate negotiations, be sure to keep your approach moderate. Some people feel as though they should be aggressive in order to get the best price; this can backfire on them. Be clear and firm about what you want but let your lawyer or realtor do the negotiation for you.
TIP! Don?t set your sights on a home that is adjacent to a highway or other major artery. These houses tend to be a little less expensive then houses in the middle and can be tempting to purchase, however, they are less expensive for a reason.
One of the first things to do when moving into your new home is to make sure you are adequately protected by home insurance. Putting this off means that the insurance may not kick in if something bad happens, and we all know just how unpredictable Mother Nature can be at times.
If you are hiring an appraiser when buying real estate, make sure that they have at least five years experience. Avoid hiring appraisers that are recommended by the real estate agency. This represents a possible conflict of interest. Make sure that any appraiser you deal with has a state license.
TIP! It is important to get pre-qualified for a home loan before you go searching for a house. It would be a shame to find the one home you?ve been looking for and then discover that you can?t get a large enough loan to cover it.
Get a professional inspector to look over any home you are thinking about making an offer on. You don?t want a home that needs major revisions. Not only do surprise renovations cost you money you don?t want to spend, if they?re really serious, you might have to find another place to live while the work is being done.
Don?t delay investing in real estate. Housing prices are extremely low, and it is the right time to invest. When buying a house for your personal use, research the real estate market in your area and use a qualified local agent. The markets will go up again someday, so any investment you make will have returns.
When looking for new real estate investments, you should always focus on your goals. Consider whether you have long term or short term goals. If your goals do not match a potential investment, walk away from it. Sometimes, property buyers wind up with a lousy investment because they forget to make sure it meets their needs.
TIP! Think about the parking situation in the area you?ll be buying a home. This is particularly important for homes without driveways.
Now that you have the knowledge you need, are you ready to commit to buy? Hopefully, these tips will ease your concerns. Use these tips to find out how to be successful and make it easy to live your life. Buying real estate can be simple. It feels great to finally own property! Just know how much it truly costs and make your decisions as wisely as possible.
