You may generate multiple destination by requesting 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?'. However, you are limited up to 8 waypoints. To get more waypoints for a request, you'll need to get Google Maps API for Work which will allow you up to 23 waypoints.

Regarding Google Maps Intents, in order to launch Maps with an intent, you must first create an Intent object specifying its action, URI and package. For more details, check this link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/intents
