How to deep link to location sharing page in google maps application

Question

From my Android application, I need to open the location sharing page of Google Maps. I can launch the google maps application using following code snippet,

Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

or

Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom"));
startActivity(mapIntent);

What should I do to launch the "Location Sharing" page(refer the image below) Google maps?

Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom")); startActivity(mapIntent); this is better because here your sharing your exact information with details — Shubham Jain, Oct 06 '17 at 05:16

Check below code. This is from google's guideline.

    Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=Taronga+Zoo,+Sydney+Australia");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

Thanks for the response. But this only launches the Google maps app not the location sharing page. – remya thekkuvettil Oct 06 '17 at 05:23

That will open location sharing screen. But obviously that is not as same as display on screen shot. – Samir Bhatt Oct 16 '17 at 10:01
