Found the solution.

Not Working

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-googlemaps" spec="2.6.0">
        <variable name="API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID" value="***" />
        <variable name="API_KEY_FOR_IOS" value="***" />
 </plugin>

Solution (declare key outside from plugin tag and within widget tag)

<preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_ANDROID_API_KEY" value="***" />
<preference name="GOOGLE_MAPS_IOS_API_KEY" value="****" />

The solution specified by @webumer is correct. You have to add preference with name as GOOGLE_MAPS_ANDROID_API_KEY for android and GOOGLE_MAPS_IOS_API_KEY for ios within the widget tag.
