the issue is because the map is not ready right after starting the activity. You have to use the getMapAsync method from the apis: in your onCreate:

SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
    .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

Your activity should be declared like this:

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
    implements OnMapReadyCallback {
...
}

And you have to implement the callback, that uses the map in the same way you were doing in the onCreate:

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    String mMapProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

    if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        return;
    }
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(mMapProvider);
    if (location != null){
         onLcatonChanged(location);
    }
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(mMapProvider, 20000, 0, (LocationListener) this);
}
