You can check if the Google Play Store app is installed and, if this is the case, you can use the "market://" protocol.

final String my_package_name = "........."  // <- HERE YOUR PACKAGE NAME!!
String url = "";

try {
    //Check whether Google Play store is installed or not:
    this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.android.vending", 0);

    url = "market://details?id=" + my_package_name;
} catch ( final Exception e ) {
    url = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + my_package_name;
}


//Open the app page in Google Play store:
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
startActivity(intent);
