Usage

    private LocationTracker locationTracker;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        locationTracker=new LocationTracker("my.action")
                .setInterval(50000)
                .setGps(true)
                .setNetWork(false)
                
                // IF YOU WANT JUST CURRENT LOCATION
                // .currentLocation(new CurrentLocationReceiver(new CurrentLocationListener() {
                //
                //            @Override
                //            public void onCurrentLocation(Location location) {
                //               Log.d("callback", ":onCurrentLocation" + location.getLongitude());
                //               locationTracker.stopLocationService(getBaseContext());
                //            }
                //
                //            @Override
                //            public void onPermissionDiened() {
                //                Log.d("callback", ":onPermissionDiened");
                //                locationTracker.stopLocationService(getBaseContext());
                //            }
                // }))
                        
                .start(getBaseContext(), this);

                // IF YOU WANT RUN IN SERVICE
                // .start(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        locationTracker.onRequestPermission(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        locationTracker.stopLocationService(this);
    }

Create your BroadcastReceiver to get informations of location

public class LocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver implements ILocationConstants {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (null != intent && intent.getAction().equals("my.action")) {
            Location locationData = (Location) intent.getParcelableExtra(SettingsLocationTracker.LOCATION_MESSAGE);
            Log.d("Location: ", "Latitude: " + locationData.getLatitude() + "Longitude:" + locationData.getLongitude());
            //send your call to api or do any things with the of location data
        }
    }
}
