findMe should be "Storgatan 5", sorry about that:
Locale swedish = new Locale("sv");
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, swedish);
locations = geocoder.getFromLocationName("Storgatan 5", 700);
No hit in Stockholm though :-(, this one expected:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=sv&geocode=&q=storgatan+5&sll=59.333857,18.087831&sspn=0.004367,0.00825&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Storgatan+5,+11444,+Sverige&ll=59.33569,18.080717&spn=0.004366,0.00825&z=17
