Is Google Maps API free for Android?

You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).

What does Google Map API do in Android?

With the Maps SDK for Android, add maps to your Android app including Wear OS apps using Google Maps data, map displays, and map gesture responses. You can also provide additional information for map locations and support user interaction by adding markers, polygons, and overlays to your map.

The official answer from Google:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#usagelimits

The Maps API usage limits apply only to the following APIs:
-Google Maps JavaScript API v2
-Google Maps JavaScript API v3
-Google Maps API for Flash
-Google Maps Image APIs

The Google Earth API, and native Maps APIs for mobile platforms such as Android and iOS are not affected. Use of the embed feature of Google Maps, and other Google products that offer an embed feature that includes a map, are not affected by these limits.
