Is It Possible To Programmatically Access The Google Maps' Navigation History?

I wonder if it possible to retrieve the Google Maps navigation history. In other words, is there a way of retrieving the recent routes taken/searched by the user of the Google Maps

Solution 1:

You can not finish Google Navigation App.

There is only one work around which I found, Re-start the navigation with the current location, hence the navigation will automatically be finished.

publicstaticvoidstartNavigationIntent(Context activity, String destination)
    {
        Intent intent = newIntent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=" + destination));
        activity.startActivity(intent);
    }

And then bring your app to the foreground.

Intent bringToForegroundIntent = newIntent(BackgroundLocationService.this, DashboardActivity.class);
                        bringToForegroundIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                        startActivity(bringToForegroundIntent);

Solution 2:

There is no API available to get information out of the Navigation App. But you can feed some data to Maps to request a route through an Intent / URI.

But I don't think that the Maps app will save the whole route anyway, only the destination. The user selects any saved destination and you can get there from any source.
