It looks like native Geocoder of Android API periodically experiences this issue. It was reported to Google some time ago, but looks like the issue wasn't solved definitely:

Feel free to star this bug to add your vote.

As an alternative you can consider switching to Geocoding API web service that seems to be more reliable. You can use the Java client library for Google Maps API Web Services to implement web service calls from your Android app:

https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-java

This library has reverse geocoding function similar to getFromLocation. Check the javadoc for more details:

I hope this helps!
