Answer 1

If you can't get the numebr of satellites through GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS then you could have your activity implement NmeaListener.

If you implement the NmeaListener then you will have to parse the message string received in onNmeaReceived in order to extract the number of satellites. The NMEA formats are described here. Then you might like to do a Google search for "Java" + "NMEA parser"
