This is going to be device specific. Probably the best approach is to create an Interface in your portable class library and then implement the interface in your Android and iOS -specific projects. The PCL will connect to the implementation through the Xamarin Forms DependencyService. Please have a look at the following link Accessing Native Features via the DependencyService

It is likely that you will be able to use the other examples on the Xamarin site to write your platform-specific code. For example here is a link to the Android LocationService

Checkout Forms Labs. It should be pretty simple to reuse it even without Xamarin.Forms (if that's the case).
