Is it possible to get a geolocation (lat/long) of incoming call? The idea is to show a caller's location on a google map.
I understand that it might not work in case of spoofing, VOIP or a landline.
On both phones is not a problem - in this case I can share my geo location with Google (so does other phone) and we both can see each other on a map without even making a call.. This is not my point.
My point is to create the app that will show where the caller is without him knowing about being traced.

If you want to do what it says, you need to create an application that is hidden, that detects when a call is made and that sends the location where it was made.

NOTE: Google does not allow any apps in the play store that secretly disclose a user's location with or without making a call.
One way or the other the "caller" would have to have your app installed on their device in order to send you their location, and you would just configure the app to send you the location via a silent push notification, email, etc. when they call you.
I thought that I can somehow mimic 911 technology. Well, not possible.
The idea is to trace employee phones while we're working on the app that later will be installed on their phones legally. This app will collect clock in / clock out time and geo and send it back to the office like a time sheet.
If the phones belong to and are registered by the company, then perhaps FindMyPhone or whatever Google's equivalent is might help, eg: here are my parents' devices right now (interestingly one of them is off by 200m: presumably the GPS on that device isn't working inside the house, and so it's using the home internet IP address and narrowed it down to a junction box) (this was much more impressive when they were on the other side of the world, where they lived on a farm for six months and I could see dad go walking out in the paddocks to visit the horses)
