or

If car keep moving 2000 meters distance than need to call location update api after every 5min.Actually how to check that location is same or not?

Answer 1

You can receive Information about location changes with the Location Update Callback . Read more about it in the android developer docs . Here is a basic example on how you can detect if the location changed:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements LocationListener {
    private Location mLastKnownLocation;
    ...
    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {          
            //location changed
            mLastKnownLocation = location
        }           
    }
}

Basically you just receive information about the current location if the location changed .

So in your case where you want to know every 5 min / 2 min if the location changed implement a timer, loop, etc. to check every 5 min / 2 min if you received a locationChangedEvent and the location changed or not
