Yes, use Projection class. More specifically:

Get Projection of the map:

 Projection projection = map.getProjection();

Get location of your marker:

 LatLng markerLocation = marker.getPosition();

Pass location to the Projection.toScreenLocation() method:

 Point screenPosition = projection.toScreenLocation(markerLocation);

Like this you can move your marker relative to center or around the screen

Point mappoint = googleMap.getProjection().toScreenLocation(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
        mappoint.set(mappoint.x, mappoint.y-30);
        googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(googleMap.getProjection().fromScreenLocation(mappoint)));
