Google Maps Application : Google Maps Application Screenshot

And here is my code :

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_location_route);
    int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getBaseContext());
    if (status != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        int requestCode = 10;
        Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, requestCode);
        dialog.show();
    }
    else{
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    }
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    try {
        mGoogleMap = googleMap;
        mGoogleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
        mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
        String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
        if (location != null) {
            onLocationChanged(location);
        }
        drawYourMarker(yourLocation);
        drawPharmacyMarker(pharmacyLocation);

        // Checks, whether start and end locations are captured
        if (yourLocation != null && pharmacyLocation != null) {
            String url = getDirectionsUrl(yourLocation, pharmacyLocation);
            DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
            downloadTask.execute(url);
        }
    } catch (SecurityException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Is there any way to make my application show more labels like in Google Maps application ?

You need to change Map Type

mGoogleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

to

mGoogleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);

This is because Google Maps app use all the available APIs from Google. The API you are looking for is Google Places API to get all the labels.

You have to turn it on on the Google API console and follow this tutorial to achieve put them on your map.

Hope this help.
