Getting Repeated Current Location inside a Service in android?

I am calling a service were i will get current location at some interval and match the location with a location passed to the service.and if it is in a close range it will buzz the phone.Now i tried to get the current location by FusedLocationApi.But i got error when i write this portion

   mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)//here i got the error
                            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                            .build();
                    mGoogleApiClient.connect();

I got error in the compiler like:

`addConnectionCallbacks` in builder can't be applied to java.lang.Runnable

I tried to give getApplicationContext() instead of these but same result.I am calling service class from fragment.My whole code:

public class LocBuzzService extends Service implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {

    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    private static final String TAG = "HelloService";
    private boolean isRunning = false;
    public Vibrator vibrator;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        Log.i(TAG, "Service onCreate");
        isRunning = true;

    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(final Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        Log.i(TAG, "Service onStartCommand");
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    //Bundle b=intent.getExtras();
                    //Double lat = b.getDouble("lat");
                    //Double lng = b.getDouble("lng");


                    //vibrator = (Vibrator) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
                    //vibrator.vibrate(3000);

                    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                            .build();
                    mGoogleApiClient.connect();


                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, Log.getStackTraceString(e));

                }

               // stopSelf();
            }
        }).start();


        return Service.START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {

        Log.i(TAG, "Service onBind");
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {

        Log.i(TAG, "Service onDestroy");
        isRunning = false;
        mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {

        Log.i(TAG, "Onconnected");
        mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
        mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
        mLocationRequest.setInterval(2000); // Update location every second
        //LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
                //mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest,this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Connection Suspended");
    }

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        Log.i(TAG, "LocationChanged");
        Double lat1 = location.getLatitude();
        Double lng1 = location.getLongitude();
        Log.i(TAG,String.valueOf(lat1)+ ",  " + String.valueOf(lng1));

    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {

    }

What's the problem actually and am i going the right path or is there any easy way to get the current location at some interval??

Your code 

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                            .addApi(LocationServices.API) 
                            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                            .build();

is put in the run() method of an anonymous Runnable class, that means the this keyword is referring to that anonymous Runnable class instead of your Service class. Therefore simply changing the code to this will resolve the issue:

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                            .addApi(LocationServices.API) 
                            .addConnectionCallbacks(LocBuzzService.this)
                            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(LocBuzzService.this)
                            .build();

Additionally, this code doesn't take very much time to execute, so you can just move it out of the anonymous Runnable and it'll work as well.
