Once a day, this app should automatically check a list of points in a 
spreadsheet and see if it is anywhere near it.

e.g.
GPS point 1 , 1.0km , Home
GPS point 2 , 2.0km , Train station
GPS point 3 , 1.0km , Friends Place
GPS point 4 , 5.0km , Work
GPS point 5 , 3.0km , shopping
GPS point 6 , 0.5km , shopping 2
GPS point 7 , 4.0km , family ranch

If possible, users should be able to create these spreadsheet via a GUI 
interface in geohashdroid as well, by manually putting in points of interest 
and its trigger range.

You need to becareful to make this checks no more than once a day for battery 
life. Does android have cron jobs?

Hm... I think I get what you want in this, but this might be best dealt with after the home screen widget ideas get coded out, as this sounds like it'd integrate most with it (that is, it could send out notifications if it's near a "known" point OR your current location). I'll keep this one in mind.
