Android: Launching google map with intent how to mark a specific location

I am launching googlemap using an intent giving the latitude and longitude. It shows the map with the area around specified location.

How can i get a marker displayed at this specific location while launching the map.

here is my code for starting the activity :

Intent i = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                        Uri.parse("geo:" + lat+ "," + long+ "?z=10"  ) )
startActivity(intent);

to place mark just use the following example:

// change name - to any text you want to display
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:55.74274,37.56577?q=55.74274,37.56577 (name)"));
// the following line should be used if you want use only Google maps
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
