First, you need to analyze whether you need real-time information or whether there might be an update time.
If you need your information in real time, you can use Firebase for this. With Firebase you can have real-time information on your client (Android) without difficulty. The problem is that if you reach a certain number of users / requisitions, you will probably need to acquire some plan (here is a table of values).
But if your platform allows an update with a "delay", you can create an endpoint within your API that receives and updates the information. In the part of your client (Android), you can create a Service to update the information with the server.
To get device location information, you can take a look at the official documentation.
