Blue dot and circle is not shown on MyLocation using android fused location api

For targeting api-23 or higher

See this answer....

For targeting api-22 and lower:

This code works for me, it has the MyLocation blue dot/circle, and it also places a Marker on the current location using the Fused Location Provider.

Here is the entire Activity code I used:

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;import android.os.Bundle;import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;import android.location.Location;import android.widget.Toast;import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener;import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements        GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,        LocationListener,        OnMapReadyCallback {    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;    LatLng latLng;    GoogleMap mGoogleMap;    SupportMapFragment mFragment;    Marker mCurrLocation;    @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);        mFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);        mFragment.getMapAsync(this);    }    @Override    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {        mGoogleMap = googleMap;        mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);        buildGoogleApiClient();        mGoogleApiClient.connect();    }    @Override    public void onPause() {        super.onPause();        //Unregister for location callbacks:        if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {            LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);        }    }    protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {        Toast.makeText(this,"buildGoogleApiClient",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)                .addApi(LocationServices.API)                .build();    }    @Override    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {        Toast.makeText(this,"onConnected",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();        Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(                mGoogleApiClient);        if (mLastLocation != null) {            //place marker at current position            mGoogleMap.clear();            latLng = new LatLng(mLastLocation.getLatitude(), mLastLocation.getLongitude());            MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();            markerOptions.position(latLng);            markerOptions.title("Current Position");            markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));            mCurrLocation = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);        }        mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();        mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000); //5 seconds        mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000); //3 seconds        mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);        //mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(0.1F); //1/10 meter        LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);    }    @Override    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {        Toast.makeText(this,"onConnectionSuspended",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();    }    @Override    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {        Toast.makeText(this,"onConnectionFailed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();    }    @Override    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {        //remove previous current location marker and add new one at current position        if (mCurrLocation != null) {            mCurrLocation.remove();        }        latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());        MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();        markerOptions.position(latLng);        markerOptions.title("Current Position");        markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));        mCurrLocation = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);        Toast.makeText(this,"Location Changed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();        //If you only need one location, unregister the listener        //LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);    }}

activity_main.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity">    <fragment        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"        android:id="@+id/map"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/></RelativeLayout>

Result:

You have to add the following permissions in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/><uses-feature    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"    android:required="true" />

MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(                            location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));

Try this,

   if (location!=null) {                googleMap.clear();                LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());                CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()                        .target(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude())).zoom(14).build();                googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory                        .newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));                // create markerOptions                MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(                        location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));                // ROSE color icon                markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory                        .defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE));                markerOptions.position(latLng);                // adding markerOptions                Marker marker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);                dropPinEffect(marker);            }
