LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());

    Geocoder geocoder;
    List<Address> addresses;
    geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

    try {
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1); 
        String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); 
        String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();


    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Please Note :
location.getLatitude() = your latitude value, location.getLongitude() = your longitude value.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/33291227/9423249 Using this you will get latitude and longitude value. For Opening map you need google map integration steps. – Dhara Jani Sep 21 '20 at 12:48

In order to achieve this, you need to follow some steps.

Step1: Adding Location Api Lib:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0'

Step2: Add metadata to AndroidManifest.xml: replace 'key' with your Api-key

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="key"/>

Step3: You need a service and one activity to work on:

1.AddressListActivity.java

import android.Manifest;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Geocoder;
import android.location.Location;

import android.widget.Toast;

import com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationResult;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;

public class AddressListActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;

    private static final int LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 2;

    private LocationAddressResultReceiver addressResultReceiver;

    private TextView currentAddTv;

    private Location currentLocation;

    private LocationCallback locationCallback;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.current_location_address_layout);

        Toolbar tb = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(tb);
        tb.setSubtitle("Current Location Address");

        addressResultReceiver = new LocationAddressResultReceiver(new Handler());

        currentAddTv = findViewById(R.id.current_address);

        fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);

        locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
                currentLocation = locationResult.getLocations().get(0);
                getAddress();

        startLocationUpdates();
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("MissingPermission")

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
        } else {
            LocationRequest locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
            locationRequest.setInterval(2000);
            locationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
            locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

            fusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest,
                    locationCallback,

        switch (requestCode) {
            case LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE: {
                if (grantResults.length > 0
                        && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                }
                return;
            }

        }
    }
    private class LocationAddressResultReceiver extends ResultReceiver {
        LocationAddressResultReceiver(Handler handler) {
            super(handler);
        }

            if (resultCode == 0) {
                //Last Location can be null for various reasons
                //for example the api is called first time
                //so retry till location is set
                //since intent service runs on background thread, it doesn't block main thread
                Log.d("Address", "Location null retrying");
                getAddress();
            }

            if (resultCode == 1) {
                Toast.makeText(AddressListActivity.this,
                        "Address not found, " ,

2.Your Intent Service as GetAddressIntentService

    }

    //handle the address request
    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent) {
        String msg = "";
        //get result receiver from intent
        addressResultReceiver = intent.getParcelableExtra("add_receiver");

        if (addressResultReceiver == null) {
            Log.e("GetAddressIntentService",
                    "No receiver, not processing the request further");
            return;
        }

            sendResultsToReceiver(0, msg);
            return;
        }
        //call GeoCoder getFromLocation to get address
        //returns list of addresses, take first one and send info to result receiver
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> addresses = null;

        try {
            addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(
                    location.getLatitude(),
                    location.getLongitude(),
                    1);
        } catch (Exception ioException) {
            Log.e("", "Error in getting address for the location");
        }

        if (addresses == null || addresses.size()  == 0) {

            StringBuffer addressDetails = new StringBuffer();

            addressDetails.append(address.getFeatureName());
            addressDetails.append("\n");

            addressDetails.append(address.getThoroughfare());
            addressDetails.append("\n");

            addressDetails.append("Locality: ");
            addressDetails.append(address.getLocality());
            addressDetails.append("\n");

            addressDetails.append("County: ");

            addressDetails.append("\n");

            sendResultsToReceiver(2,addressDetails.toString());
        }
    }
    //to send results to receiver in the source activity
    private void sendResultsToReceiver(int resultCode, String message) {
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putString("address_result", message);
        addressResultReceiver.send(resultCode, bundle);
    }
}

3.XML To display your Data
