You can add listener on button click.

Button btnMyLocation = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnMyLocation); 
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = null;

btnMyLocation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Location loc = map.getMyLocation();
                if (loc != null) {
                    LatLng latLng = new LatLng(loc.getLatitude(), loc
                            .getLongitude());
                    cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 17);
                    map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);

                }

            }
        });

for GPS :

You require following permission in Manifest file

android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

and here is code :

final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );

  if ( !manager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) )
    Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is disable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
  else
    Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is Enable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Just start a location Update listener on the click of that button. and when new location arrives move the camera in mapObject (got in OnMapReady() method) to that location with animations.

In the OnClick method, get the currentGPS location (latitude longitude co-ordinates) through LocationManager. More info on howto is here

i have a similar trouble, in my case work with this:

map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(loc.getLatitude(), loc.getLongitude()), 4));
