Use 'FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates' to get current location. The fused location provider is one of the location APIs in Google Play Services. It manages the underlying location technology and provides a simple API so that you can specify requirements at high level. Also, don't forget to enable device GPS.

Here's a sample demo app for FusedLocationApi, it shows how to use the said API: https://github.com/codepath/android-google-maps-demo/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/example/mapdemo/MapDemoActivity.java
