NullPointer MapFragment.getMap()

Question

So, I'm trying to create a DrawerLayout that starts a map fragment when you push a button. Everything I've tried either throws a backstack exception or nullpointer. Here's what I have so far.

activity_main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_view"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    />

<!--The drawer-->
<ListView android:id="@+id/drawer_view"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:dividerHeight="0dp"
    android:background="#9E9E9E"/>



</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

geo_fence.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>


</LinearLayout>

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Construct the action bar
        ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
        ab.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);


        //Construct the slide out drawer
        mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer_view);

        createButtons();

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
        switch(menuItem.getItemId()) {
            case android.R.id.home:
                mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);
            case R.id.new_action:
                mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);
            case R.id.remove_place:
                adapter.remove(currentPlace);
                mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);
        }
        return (super.onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem));
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        if (mPreferences.getBoolean("firstrun", true)) {
            //FIX THIS - needs to run to check for play services
            ProgressDialog showWait = new ProgressDialog(this);
            showWait.setTitle("Initializing");
            showWait.setMessage("Please wait, checking for Google Play Services");
            showWait.show();
            startActivity(new Intent(this, CheckServices.class));
            showWait.dismiss();
            //FIX THIS
            firstRun();
        }

    }

    /*

    private void addPlacesPressed() {
        FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
        MapFragment map = (MapFragment)fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this.getApplicationContext());
        if (resultCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){

            if(gmap == null){
                gmap = map.getMap();
                if(gmap != null){
                    //myMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
                    gmap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
                }else{
                    Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(),
                            "cannot getMap!",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }

        }else{
            GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this, RQS_GooglePlayServices);
        }

        ft = fm.beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.content_view, map, "map");
        ft.commit();
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);

    }

    private void createButtons() {
        Button addPlacesButton = new Button(this);
        addPlacesButton.setOnClickListener(
                new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        addPlacesPressed();
                    }
                }
        );
    mDrawerList.addView(addPlacesButton);
    }
}

Where I try to execute the getMap() against the map Fragment it just throws a nullpointer. I have all the necessary things added to the manifest, I've gotten this working if I start the map when the application starts. It just fails when I try to replace the FramLayout with a MapFragment that's in a LinearLayout.
