As of 2020 you can also consider using Google Maps URLs, the API designed by Google in order to create universal cross-platform links. You can open Google maps on web, Android or iOS using the same URL string in form:

https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1¶meters

In case when you need show certain location you can use an URL like

https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=36.26577,-92.54324

The code snippet is

String url = "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query="+address;
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);

I hope this helps!
