I am currently working on a GPS tracking App for track packages and parcels right from android smart-phone. After user finishing put their tracking nO., I would like to be able to analyses this data and find their item information.It also can be track location on GPS to view current location in map-view.

-What would be a good way to smooth the track? I know that I'll need to implement the tracking in a service, and probably show a notification to user for to easier to know thier item have arrived. -I have read : Create an Android GPS tracking application and https://code.google.com/p/open-gpstracker/ -and also, what is the best way to do connect GPS tracking information with the user data that already have in the website? like my refr.ex :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.tribotech.trackpack&hl=en

  • You'll probably want to implement the initial notification service with Google Cloud Messaging to save on battery life. http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html and use http://fluidui.com to sketch the initial mockup. – Stephan Branczyk Apr 06 '13 at 04:55

Firstly, you need to know the API of the package carrier you intend to track packages for. Package carriers always provide an API for programmers to get information about parcels.

Examples

Then write your app to use these API's. Some carriers may provide a GPS based tracking system, which is what you want for your tracking thing.
