    You want: 1) Start the Google Maps from your app, with a particular action or 2) Have a map of Google Maps embedded in your app? As these points are not clear, follow two links to help: 1) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/intents and 2) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start

  • Start my app and in my menu start an action by calling google maps out of my app.

You need to call Google Maps via Intent, thus:

private void callExternalMap(LatLng origem, LatLng destino) {
    try {
        Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" + origem.latitude + "," + origem.longitude + "&daddr=" + destino.latitude + "," + destino.longitude));

        /*
        * Se você quiser que o usuário vá direto para o aplicativo do Google Maps, use a linha abaixo.
        * Caso não queira (de opções para o usuário abrir em outros aplicativos de mapas no celular), apenas apague a linha abaixo.
        */
        intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity"));

        startActivity(intent);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Verifique se o Google Maps está instalado em seu dispositivo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}
