Android: how to get the last 50 cell (tower) location details?

Question

By default android stores the last 200 wifi connections and 50 cell location details.

I got the wifi details by using getConfiguredNetworks() from the WifiManager

Similarly I want to get the last 50 cell location details.

Please see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.rrelmy.android.locationcachemap

In this example they passed the API key to the server. How do I get the key for my mobile?

According to this: https://github.com/rrelmy/LocationCacheMap accessing the cache you mentioned requires root and presumably because of that it isn't supported by the SDK.

What I did find, is that you can probably build your own location cache by listening for them: follow these instructions and store the lat,long pairs of the towers in a SQLite database.
