You can use MyLocationOverlay. Code will look something like this:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // Find the map view
    mMapView = findViewById(R.id.map);

    // Create an overlay and add to map view
    mMyLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mMapView);
    mMapView.getOverlays().add(mMyLocationOverlay);
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mMyLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    mMyLocationOverlay.disableMyLocation();
    super.onStop();
}
