Getting location trigger from Android OS

Question

Is there a way to get a trigger from Android OS, if a user enters in a predefined area(Lat long list given to the OS) ? e.g. If I give lat long of a particular restaurant to the OS, is there a way OS can send me a trigger when user enters the restaurant?

Thanks
