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
                }
            }
        });
