Answer 1

Hint: if your question contains fewer than 100 words, you have not provided enough detail in your question.

In this case, it is unclear what you have "no idea" about.

Here is a sample project from one of my books that uses AlarmManager. Here is a sample project from another of my books that accesses a Web service.

If none of these address your "no idea" issue, please post another question on StackOverflow with more details of where you are encountering problems.

Answer 2

This question covers the general issues. You will need to look elsewhere for the details of wiring up the web service: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2775628/android-how-to-periodically-send-location-to-a-server
