To show multiple markers on a Google Map in an Android application, use the `GoogleMap` object. First, ensure your app has the Google Maps API integrated. Then, for each location, create a `MarkerOptions` object, setting the position with `.position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude))` and optional settings like title. Add each `MarkerOptions` to the map by calling `googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions)`. Repeat this for all locations you want to mark. This method allows you to dynamically add as many markers as needed to represent different points of interest on the map.
