Masashi & all, thank you for enquiring about this.
The opt-in period has been moved to April 2018. We'll be sure to update this thread when closer from the exact milestones.

As outlined in the recent release notes for the Maps Android API [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/releases ], this feature is now available for the new basemap style.
To opt-in, add the following tag to your AndroidManifest.xml file, within the <application> tags. The user's device must have at least Google Play Services version 12.0.0 in order for the opt-in to work.
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.API_OPTIONS" android:value="B3MWHUG2MR0DQW"/>

The new basemap style will switch from opt-in to opt-out within the next few weeks.
Should you wish to temporarily opt-out, add the following tag to your AndroidManifest.xml file, within the <application> tags:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.API_OPTIONS" android:value="B3H9HE845CFHYG"/>
We will keep posting updates here closer to date.

@jh... Is v12 of com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps required in build.gradle for the opt-out to work?
I'm using:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.8.0'
...and my device is running:
Google Play Services App: 12.6.85 (040400-197041431)
.. but I still see POI icons on the map when adding the opt-out within <application> tags.

Nevermind, I believe I had incorrect expectations of the opt-out. Looking at https://mapsplatform.googleblog.com/2018/02/updated-basemap-style-for-google-maps.html , I believe POI icons previously existed, but were circular instead of pins (I was incorrectly expecting the POI icons to disappear completely). So, in that case, it seems to be working as intended, as the opt-out does return them to the circular icons.

Please note that the opt-out period will end on October 31st. Your app will only display the updated basemap style after that.

Description
This transition will happen in several steps, with an opt-in period (defaulting to the previous style) and an opt-out period (defaulting to the new style) before the new style is applied on all Android apps.
For the Google Maps Android API, these milestones are as follows:
Opt-in period: scheduled for April 2018.
Opt-out period: scheduled for May 2018.
End of opt-out period: scheduled for August 2018.
The instructions to opt-in and opt-out will be included with the Google Maps Android API release notes [2] at the release times mentioned above. The opt-in and opt-out functions will consist of a small update in your app's AndroidManifest.xml file.
We will keep this issue updated as we approach milestones.
