To get a drawable you can implement this code:

SnapshotReadyCallback callback = new SnapshotReadyCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onSnapshotReady(Bitmap snapshot) {
        mapSnapshot = snapshot;
    }
};

googleMap.snapshot(callback);

Drawable screenshot = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(),mapSnapshot);

If you directly want to save the snapshot on the SD, you can follow this answer: Capture screen shot of GoogleMap Android API V2

The latest update of Google Play Services library brings us ability to make snapshots via GoogleMap's snapshot() method.

You can try to take a screen shot of the fragment View:

 View view = findViewById(R.id.fragmentId);
 view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
 Bitmap bitmap = view.getDrawingCache();
 BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);

I haven't tested it.
