Answer 1

Try looking into LocationManager.addProximityAlert()

Excerpt from the documentation:

Sets a proximity alert for the location given by the position (latitude, longitude) and the given radius. When the device detects that it has entered or exited the area surrounding the location, the given PendingIntent will be used to create an Intent to be fired.
