Adding to M D's answer:

From documentation:

A GoogleMap must be acquired using getMapAsync(OnMapReadyCallback). The MapView automatically initializes the maps system and the view.

According to this, the more correct way to initialize GoogleMap is using getMapAsync.

Note that your class has to implement OnMapReadyCallback

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map_page, container, false);

    mMapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.map_view);
    mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mMapView.getMapAsync(this); //this is important

    return v;
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mGoogleMap = googleMap;
    mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
    mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(/*some location*/));
    mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(/*some location*/, 10));
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mMapView.onResume();
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    mMapView.onPause();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    mMapView.onDestroy();
}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    mMapView.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}

@Override
public void onLowMemory() {
    super.onLowMemory();
    mMapView.onLowMemory();
}
