Does a user really need to be notified when they've entered a theater? Chances are they already know. — Dave Newton, May 08 '12 at 12:48
Here we can take this like a user in a particular region then we send some alert on his device. — Krishnakant Dalal, May 08 '12 at 13:27

Hey I found the solution Try This,

We have to implement PendingIntent & Location Manager. Location Manager obtain the current Location of user and when user entered in some region it will fire a pending intent some code snippet as follow:

//---use the LocationManager class to obtain locations data---
lm = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
//---PendingIntent to launch activity if the user is within some locations---
PendingIntent pendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
this, 0, new
Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://www.amazon.com")), 0);
lm.addProximityAlert(37.422006, -122.084095, 5, -1, pendIntent);

addProximityAlert method in which we can set the region (Radius for the User tracking) here is the more detail of addProximityAlert method.

@PSrinivasgoud: I am also trying the same concept. I am a blackberry developer. I am literally new to android. Can you explain me little more about this or can you provide me any code sample on this ?? — Arun Kumar Munusamy, May 17 '12 at 13:26
