Just need to correctly format the SSID. Here is a sample code:

    WifiManager mWifiManager = (WifiManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    WifiConfiguration tmpConfig = new WifiConfiguration();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        tmpConfig.SSID = String.format("\"%s\"", sSSID);
        tmpConfig.BSSID = sBSSID;
    } else {
        tmpConfig.SSID = "\"" + sSSID + "\"";
        tmpConfig.BSSID = "\"" + sBSSID + "\"";
    }

    tmpConfig.priority = 1;
    if (iSecurityType.equals("WEP")) {
        tmpConfig.wepKeys[0] = sPassword;
        tmpConfig.wepTxKeyIndex = 0;
    } else if (iSecurityType.equals("WPA2") ||   iSecurityType.equals("WPA")) {
            tmpConfig.preSharedKey = "\"" + sPassword+ "\"";
        } else {
            tmpConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);
        }

    tmpConfig.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
    int netId = mWifiManager.addNetwork(tmpConfig);

    mWifiManager.updateNetwork(tmpConfig);
    boolean result = mWifiManager.enableNetwork(netId, true);
    mWifiManager.updateNetwork(tmpConfig);
    mWifiManager.saveConfiguration();
