 LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
  LocationListener mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
 mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
        mlocListener);

 public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
    loc.getLatitude();
    loc.getLongitude();

    Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(),
            Locale.getDefault());
    try {
        mAddresses = gcd.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(),
                loc.getLongitude(), 1);

    } catch (IOException e) {

    }

    String cityName = (mAddresses != null) ? mAddresses.get(0)
            .getLocality() : TimeZone.getDefault().getID();
    String countryName = (mAddresses != null) ? mAddresses.get(0)
            .getCountryName() : Locale.getDefault().getDisplayCountry()
            .toString();


    mCurrentSpeed.setText("Longitude"+loc.getLongitude()+" Latitude"+loc.getLatitude());
}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gps Disabled",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gps Enabled",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
}

You can implement your location listener that remembers delivered locations, probably averaging them in some way.

You cant really ask Android to provide you with the current GPS locations right away your best bet would be wait till it gets a location Changed Update or use the Last Known values !

You can use the last known location.

Have a look here:

What is the simplest and most robust way to get the user's current location on Android?

Hope this helps
