To show location and disply show directions button inside google Maps use this code snippet:

String geoUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + latitude + "," + longitude + " (" + locationName + ")";
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(geoUri));
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
    context.startActivity(mapIntent);
