Request Location updates using LocationManager.

NetworkListener listener = new NetworkListener()

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates (LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 30000, 0, listener);

Inside Listener onLocationChanged u can write code to send lat, lng to php webservice.

class NetworkListener implements LocationListener{

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          double latitude = location.getLatitude();
          double longitude = location.getLongitude();
          // write code to send lat, lng to php webservice.
    }

    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    } 

    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

You can use timer task that will trigger after each 3 minutes. Please refer below code for that

final Handler handler = new Handler();
         timer = new Timer();
        TimerTask doAsynchronousTask = new TimerTask() {       
            @Override
            public void run() {
                handler.post(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {       
                     /// send lat and long here to your server

                    }
                });
            }
        };
        timer.schedule(doAsynchronousTask, 0, 300000)
