You need a service that delivers reverse geocoding, can use Google Places API or OpenStreetMap, you have to take latitude and longitude from phone to make the request it will return JSON for example, you can parse the returned data and plot on map or show on list.

As already posted you will need to find a web service provider that you can query for nearby POIs.

If you want an example of getting a location from the user of your app then take a look at this example i have just uploaded: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...smdroid-mapview-b4a-tutorial-4.html#post93131.
