Hey everyone,
After a request made by bluejay at this page , I developed the PhoneStateListener Library.
With the PhoneStateListener, you are able to retrieve several kinds of information when something happens on your phone, like someone is calling, when you mobile phone signal strength changes, celllocation changes, etc.
PhoneStateListener
Author: XverhelstX
Version: 1.3
* When onSignalStrengthsChanged is called, you can automatically use all the get methods (like getGsmSignalStrength, getEvdoEcio(), ...).
* A lot of details is outputted to the filtered B4A logs, so don't forget to check that out too.
The best thing, is that it is very easy to use and implement in your app.
Just add a service and copy the following:
Don't forget to start the service with StartService and stop with Stopservice.
The attachment contains a sample and the library files.
More information can be found here:

Feedback, criticism and found bugs are welcome and will be fixed asap.

- LISTEN_SIGNAL_STRENGTHS As Int
- Initialize (EventName As String, EnableLogging As Boolean)
Initializes the PhoneStateListener.
EventName - Events subs prefix. - isGSM As Boolean
- objCellLocation As Object
Returns the CellLocation.
CellLocation has a value when onCellLocationChanged is called.
You can work with this object in the Reflector library.
Return type: @return: - objServiceState As Object
Returns the ServiceState.
ServiceState1 has a value when onServiceStateChanged is called.
You can work with this object in the Reflector library.
Return type: @return: - objSignalStrength As Object
Returns the SignalStrength.
SignalStrength has a value when onSignalStrengthsChanged is called.
You can work with this object in the Reflector library.
Return type: @return: - startListening
Starts listening for all PhoneStateListener Events.
Use startListeningForEvent for specific events. - startListeningForEvent (Event As Int)
Starts listening for specific event in the phone.
See the LISTEN_Attributes - stopListening
Stops listening for all PhoneStateListener Events.
Use stopListeningForEvent to stop specific events. - stopListeningForEvent
Stops listening for PhoneStateListener Events called from StartListeningForEvent.

Just add a service and copy the following:
B4X:
'Service module
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
'Declares the phone state listener
Dim PSL As PhoneStateListener
End Sub
Sub Service_Create
'Initializes the PhoneStateListener.
'All data is also outputted to the filtered log field.
PSL.Initialize("PSL")
'Starts listening
PSL.startListening()
ToastMessageShow(PSL.CellLocation,False)
'Remember: Find all information about the returns here:
