usage: Cab driver uses the android application. Cabs owner uses the desktop application.

Answer 1

You can easily archive that using the Google Maps Android API V2. Just send the current cab location LatLng values to your Java Application over a messaging & networking protocol. You can place the POST request in the setOnMyLocationChangeListener of the GoogleMap object.

map.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
            double lat =  location.getLatitude();
            double lng = location.getLongitude();
            //TODO: Send longitude and latitude to JAVA app
        }
    });
