I am not sure if you can listen to Android Calendar. You will have to use the Google Calendar API to retrieve the events for the user.
Here is a sample that uses Calendar API with Android.

I would suggest that you retrieve some of the future events. You can do it periodically say every day or every hour. Sync from the Calendar API instead of the Android Calendar.
Now in your database store the time and action to be taken and when ever an event occurs perform the action.
