Function:

function getCurrentUrl(callBackFuntion){
//you are in content scripts
    if(null == chrome.tabs || null == chrome.tabs.query){
        callBackFuntion(document.location.href);
    }else{
//you are in popup
        var queryInfo = {
            active: true, 
            currentWindow: true
        };
        chrome.tabs.query(queryInfo, function(tabs) {
            var tab = tabs[0]; 
            callBackFuntion(tab.url);
        }); 
    }
}

Function call:

function alertUrl(url){
    console.log("currentUrl : " + url);
}
getCurrentUrl(alertUrl);
