I just tried it on the Android Google Maps app and it doesn't work.

 Not that I can see. Pushing just moves the entire map around.
 

Apple Maps will suggest alternate routes if that makes sense, and you can tap to select among them, but it doesn't allow you to arbitrarily change the route the way Google Maps does (on the web at least).
However, if you need to pass through a specific point, you can always add a stop at that location.
