I'm not sure I understand what you are after. On which phone will you run the Android app and doesn't it have a built-in GPS?
If you intend indeed to use a Bluetooth GPS receiver then you should go for Nokia's updated model, http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/navigation/gps-modules/ld-4w <http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/navigation/gps-modules/ld-4w>Other than that it is all about opening a serial port, receiving the NMEA strings and parsing them accordingly. Totally doable.
