How to implemenet Google Maps URL?

I am trying to implemenet routes into my Android app. The way it should work, it's that a person behind a web page sets a route, and the user receives it on his phone. I thought that I could use a DB, to store the routes and then fetch them on my app. I found that I could use Google Maps URL to create a URL that has the origin, the destination and every waypoint I want. Web-wise, I managed to do all the coding behind so the operator can create the desired URL with the route, and I was thinking about storing the URL into a database. My question is, if I fetch the URL from the server on my app, is there any way to draw the polylines according to it? Or to show it in any other way? Thanks

if your link on this format 

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=400x400&path=40.737102,-73.990318|40.749825,-73.987963|40.752946,-73.987384|40.755823,-73.986397&sensor=false

you can get the points to draw the polyline.

Yes you can draw fetched routes on your map.

There is a tutorial here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/polygon-tutorial

If you want to use third party library for it. You should check github.
