You can do it with intents, if you want to open google maps from your app, you can do it with this code:

String uri = "geo:"+ latitude + "," + longitude;
Intent myMapIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(myMapIntent);

You can find some useful info about that in the related Android Documentation

You can use

geo:latitude,longitude
geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
geo:0,0?q=business+near+city

From the Android Developer guide

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr="+mylocation));
startActivity(intent);
