You can have a listener on your location. Every time your location changes by a set amount, say 50m, you can make a database call and retrieve the set of locations. Calculate the distance between your current location and the stored locations using Google's Distance Matrix Api and sort them accordingly. Retrieve the locations that fall within your desired radius and display them.

If you can use Firebase database, then you can all this automated for you by using geofire. Geofire provides realtime location querying. Which is exactly what you are trying to achieve. You store key value pair of your locations in the database. Query the database using your current location and radius and GeoFire will do the rest for you. https://github.com/firebase/geofire
