Please check the sample code for the Google Maps Android API v2. Using this will solve your problem.

private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {     // Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.     if (mMap == null) {         // Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.         mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();         mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);         // Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.         if (mMap != null) {             mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {                 @Override                 public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {                     mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude())).title("It's Me!"));                 }             });         }     } } 

Call this function in onCreate function.

Update:

The method mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener is now deprecated, you need to use the FusedLocationProviderClient now.

private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this); } 

To request the last known location, call the getLastLocation() method. The following code snippet illustrates the request and a simple handling of the response:

fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()         .addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {             @Override             public void onSuccess(Location location) {                 // Got last known location. In some rare situations this can be null.                 if (location != null) {                     // Logic to handle location object                 }             }         });

I think that better way now is:

Location currentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);
