Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for determining a location of a mobile device from different sources of location data is provided. The system may be configured to store current location data of a mobile device, the current location data associated with a first source of location data. The system may also be configured to obtain location data from a second source of location data, determine whether a first accuracy indicator of the current location data overlaps with a second accuracy indicator of the obtained location data from the second source, and update the current location data of the mobile device with the obtained location data from the second source if the first accuracy indicator of the current location data does not overlap with the second accuracy indicator of the obtained location data.

Determining device location using multiple sources of location data

A computer-implemented method and system for updating application data for a first instance of an application via C2DM is disclosed. An application server may receive a request from the first client computing device for updated application data via a network connection. The updated application data may correspond to a second instance of the application at a second client computing device. In response to determining the second instance of the application at the second client computing device supports push notifications, the system and method may generate a C2DM message including a user ID corresponding to the first client computing device and the request for updated application data. A server may then send the C2DM message to the second client computing device, wherein the C2DM message causes the second instance to wake up and generate the updated application data. The updated application data may be returned to the first client computing device.

Cloud-to-device messaging for application activation and reporting

Systems and methods for providing a geographic location of a mobile device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining a geographic location of the mobile device. The method also includes storing the determined geographic location in a geographic location history in a local memory of the mobile device. The geographic location of the mobile device is determined and stored in the geographic location history at a first time interval. The method also includes providing the geographic location history to a server at a second time interval. The second time interval is longer than the first time interval.
