[mono-android] Introducing the Xamarin Mobile API Preview

[Eric Maupin]

Hi Derek,

Be sure that you also listen for Geolocator.PositionError, add a handler
for that and make sure you're not getting any errors.
You're correct that GetPositionAsync is for one-off requests.

API Docs are available at http://betaapi.xamarin.com
Check the docs for StartListening here:
http://betaapi.xamarin.com/?link=M%3aXamarin.Geolocation.Geolocator.StartListening(System.Int32%2cSystem.Double)
