Live stream MyTracks data #1408

Hello. I am a developer working on an AI project called Jarvis. I want Jarvis 
to know my location in real time so that he can tell me whether or not I am on 
schedule for appointments or if I completed a location based task on my TODO 
list (ex. Go to the Gym). For obvious reasons, my android cellphone (since I do 
not yet own G.Glass) combined with MyTracks is the best solution to collecting 
this data.

I have explored the app and have not found a feature that allows the streaming 
of live location data. I would like this feature to be implemented into 
MyTracks.

I am thinking of either using a dedicated TCP port or a HTTP post request to 
transmit the data to my server. The data can either be automatically sent in 
real time (in my personal case) or batched (like if you wanted to post to 
Google docs every day).

I am mildly familiar with Java, but not with the Android SDK. If someone would 
like to partner with me on this feature I could probably learn quite quickly. 

tl;dr Jarvis can't keep track of Tony Stark's Iron Man suit unless MyTracks can 
stream Stark's location data to a web server.
