I got the GPS_Location:

double lo=gps_loc.getLongitude();
double la=gps_loc.getLatitude();

I got the Horizontal_Accuracy:

int horiAcc=(int)(gps_loc.getAccuracy());

I got the HDOP:

int hd= (int) (horiAcc/5);

But I can't got the number of satellites.

How can I get the number of satellites have been used in my GPS localisation?

Look at the GpsStatus Class it has a method called getMaxSatellites()

if you need further looking into the GPS Satellite Data you can iterate over the List of Satellites with getSatellites()

see: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/GpsStatus.html#getMaxSatellites%28%29
