    use I think you have context there in that class…..

     Intent intent = new Intent(c,secondActivity.class);
  intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  //intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);//it you are already adding other
 c.startActivity(intent);

    which is getting used in

    Toast.makeText(c, “clicked pin is : ” + item.getTitle(),
    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
