Change the bold part of this URL to your company address. It's best if you replace all spaces with a plus (+) character, but should work with spaces too: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=620+8th+Avenue,+New+York,+NY+10018,+USA&output=csv&oe=utf8&sensor=false

Raise a request to above URL. For more information refer http://androidadvice.blogspot.in/2010/09/asynchronous-web-request.html

This will generate a code that looks something like this:

200,8,40.7562008,-73.9903784

The first number, 200, says that the address is good. The second number, 8, indicates how accurate the address is. The last two numbers, 40.7562008 and -73.9903784, are the latitude and longitude of this address. Use these to get your google map working.
