You can call setMyLocationEnabled(true) on your GoogleMap and then just call getMyLocation() periodically, if you wish. Otherwise, in addition to calling setMyLocationEnabled(true), you can:

Step #1: Set up a LocationListener using LocationManager.

Step #2: Call setLocationSource() on your GoogleMap, supplying a LocationSource implementation

Step #3: In the LocationSource implementation, hold onto the listener object supplied to you in activate()

Step #4: When location fixes come into your LocationListener, pass them to the listener you were provided in activate()

Here is a sample project demonstrating this.
