You can use OverlayItem.setMarker(). 

overlayItem.setMarker(icon);

Where icon is the Drawable you retrieve from your URL.

EDIT in addition to your comment and your edited question:

I'd recommend you add the one image you posted in your question in the resources drowables and use it as a basis drawable. The retrieve the custom image from your URL and overlay it onto the existing one creating a new drawable image which you'll be able to use with setMarker().

The click will be caught by Overlay.onTap().

  • Can you post some code of how can i get drawable from layout xml. And one more thing i need to plot lots of pin on map so i have to implement lazy loading of images otherwise it will take too much time to get the drawable from url and then plot on map. How can i do this lazy loading? – rawcoder064 Aug 28 '12 at 18:50
