I'm writting an android and iphone app using phonegap 3.0.
So far I have been only compiling the apps remotely using phonegap build.
Now I'm trying to add the geolocation plugin to my app, and in iphone was easy, since I only had to modify the config.xml file.
<feature name="Geolocation">
<param name="ios-package" value="CDVLocation" />
</feature>
So far so good, the problem was that when adding geolocation to android, the documentation indicates that I have set the following configuration:
(in app/res/xml/config.xml)
<feature name="Geolocation">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.GeoBroker" />
</feature>
(in app/AndroidManifest.xml)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
But I don't have an AndroidManifest.xml file. I could generate the complete android app using:
cordoba platform add android
But I'm not sure if this is what I should do. Is is what I should be doing? or there is a way to add geolocation without generating the entire android project?

I had the same problem. My geolocation worked on IOS but not on Android. So I Added to config.xml
<feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/geolocation"/>
As explained by Dom.This was not sufficient. I wanted to share what I did step by step because I lost about 18h of dev time looking for the solution.
This however did not reslove the problem. So I added the plugin using my IDE.
This added the following to the config:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-geolocation" version="2.2.0" />
I then went inside the plugin.xml under the plugin directorty.
And looked if the following was added.
<!-- android -->
<platform name="android">
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
</config-file>
...
It was, so I rebooted the device. (on the Ionic forum they say, it might help) When reinstalling the app I checked for the permission. And it was added. So for the bad Q of the last pic but I took a pic with my cam for it. Hope this helps

I am a bit confused because you say you are using phonegap 3.0 and you also mention phonegap-build (highest is 2.9). If you are in fact using phonegap-build, the only thing you need is in your config.xml:
<feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/geolocation"/>
