There you go.

String getMapURL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=18&size=560x240" +
    "&markers=size:mid|color:red|" 
    + yourLatitude
    + "," 
    + yourLongitude
    + "&sensor=false";

URL imgValue = new URL(getMapURL);
Bitmap userIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imgValue.openConnection().getInputStream());

ImageView imgMapInImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgMapInImage);
imgMapInImage.setImageBitmap(userIcon);

Customize the rest of the parameters such as the width and height attributes in the getMapURL. My example uses the dimensions of 560*240. Use your dimensions. Also change the zoom, the pin size and colors to your liking.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: this example uses the Google Maps Static API. For more customization options, refer to this URL here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/

Then this specific requirement should have been a part of the question in the first place fella. I am sure, that my solution would work just fine for what is apparent from your OP. But not sure if it is capable of displaying something like your example. — Siddharth Lele, May 23 '12 at 05:17
