How to draw circle in Google Maps v2 (bitmap)

// 1. some variables:

    private static final double EARTH_RADIUS = 6378100.0;
    private int offset;

// 2. convert meters to pixels between 2 points in current zoom:

    private int convertMetersToPixels(double lat, double lng, double radiusInMeters) {

         double lat1 = radiusInMeters / EARTH_RADIUS;
         double lng1 = radiusInMeters / (EARTH_RADIUS * Math.cos((Math.PI * lat / 180)));

         double lat2 = lat + lat1 * 180 / Math.PI;
         double lng2 = lng + lng1 * 180 / Math.PI; 

         Point p1 = YourActivity.getMap().getProjection().toScreenLocation(new LatLng(lat, lng));
         Point p2 = YourActivity.getMap().getProjection().toScreenLocation(new LatLng(lat2, lng2));

         return Math.abs(p1.x - p2.x);
    }

// 3. bitmap creation:

    private Bitmap getBitmap() {

        // fill color
        Paint paint1 = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        paint1.setColor(0x110000FF);
        paint1.setStyle(Style.FILL);

        // stroke color
        Paint paint2 = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        paint2.setColor(0xFF0000FF);
        paint2.setStyle(Style.STROKE);

        // icon
        Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(YourActivity.getResources(), R.drawable.blue);

        // circle radius - 200 meters
        int radius = offset = convertMetersToPixels(lat, lng, 200);

        // if zoom too small
        if (radius < icon.getWidth() / 2) {

            radius = icon.getWidth() / 2;
        }

        // create empty bitmap 
        Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(radius * 2, radius * 2, Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas c = new Canvas(b);

        // draw blue area if area > icon size
        if (radius != icon.getWidth() / 2) {

            c.drawCircle(radius, radius, radius, paint1);
            c.drawCircle(radius, radius, radius, paint2);
        }

        // draw icon
        c.drawBitmap(icon, radius - icon.getWidth() / 2, radius - icon.getHeight() / 2, new Paint());

        return b;
    }

// 4. calculate image offset:

    private LatLng getCoords(double lat, double lng) {

        LatLng latLng = new LatLng(lat, lng);

        Projection proj = YourActivity.getMap().getProjection();
        Point p = proj.toScreenLocation(latLng);
        p.set(p.x, p.y + offset);

        return proj.fromScreenLocation(p);
    }

// 5. draw:

        MarkerOptions options = new MarkerOptions();
            options.position(getCoords(lat, lng));
            options.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(getBitmap()));

            marker = YourActivity.getMap().addMarker(options);

and result:
