You need to look at the LocationManager class and Location.getSpeed()

The best place to start is by reading the developer guide for location

NMEA is a text-based protocol used to communicate with GPS. It has several speed parameters, you need to check which are sent by your device: http://aprs.gids.nl/nmea/

To get NMEA data on Android, simply enable the GPS provider and then register the NMEA listener with [addNmeaListener(..)]1.

Then you need to parse the string parameter for the NMEA commands you are interested in.
