If I understand the question correctly, you may find the passive provider helpful.

If you add this within the application element of your manifest it will call onReceive in your LocationChangedReceiver class whenever a new gps coordinate is obtained:

<receiver android:name=".location.LocationChangedReceiver" />

LocationChangedReceiver might look like this:

public class LocationChangedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String locationKey = LocationManager.KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED;

        if (intent.hasExtra(locationKey)) {
            Location location = (Location) intent.getExtras().get(locationKey);
            Log.d(TAG, "Got Location! Lat:" + location.getLatitude() + ", Lon:" + location.getLongitude() + ", Alt:" + location.getAltitude() + ", Acc:" + location.getAccuracy());

            return;
        }

    }
}
