Construct a Date object with the Date(long) constructor.
Use a SimpleDateFormat to format to string with your format pattern.

First of all just want to make sure that location.getTime() will return the time of the fix, not the current time. You can convert to local with:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
TimeZone timezone = calendar.getTimeZone();

SimpleDateFormat formattedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
formattedDate.setTimeZone(timezone);
