So exactly what are you expecting from this forum?

So what part exactly do you need help with? Sending (location) data to a server? Displaying a map? Retrieving the device's location?

Android and Web cannot act together.
1 - Get the Geo Location using Android App and Store it on DB.
2 - Using normal Jquery and GMap function display on your Web App

Just an abstract for you to start with .

1. Use and add Google Play Services Location API to fetch the latest locations continuously ( GeoLocation) ( preferred over Android Location API) in the Android App.

2. Create Web APIs( JSON) to communicate between Mobile and Server App.

3. The Locations are nothing but Latitudes and Longitudes which you have got through the Web API , combine them to create pins ( reverse geocoding) to display in the Web App google map or any other map provider. There are many free client side map plugins which makes life easier.
