You can use Google Play Services API which is friendly and simple to use or GPS location API directly. Google Play Services API can return current user location or you can even subscribe to location updates. Take look official documentation.

Also there is not only GPS, but also mobile Network and Wi-Fi based location built in in Android. You can use all of them simultaneously thru FusedLocation provider to determine user location.
