Hi you can use google documentation. Google Map

Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=-33.8666,151.1957(Google+Sydney)");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

Above example displays a label at the location of Google's Sydney office

Try this sample for launching google maps with specific Lat & Lng

public void gotToLocation(String markerName,Float latitude, Float longitude ) {
    String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "geo:0,0?q=%f,%f(%s)", latitude,longitude,markerName);
    Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));;
    mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
    if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(mapIntent);
    }
}

then call it like this

gotToLocation("MyLocation",34.99,-106.61);
