In Kotlin: I used the below code to show the SVG image on Marker. Here, I used no background color / SVG.

fun getBitmapDescriptorFromVector(context: Context, @DrawableRes vectorDrawableResourceId: Int): BitmapDescriptor? {

    val vectorDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, vectorDrawableResourceId)
    val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(vectorDrawable!!.intrinsicWidth, vectorDrawable.intrinsicHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
    val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
    vectorDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
    vectorDrawable.draw(canvas)

    return BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bitmap)
}

Use like this way:

googleMap?.addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(LatLng(it.latitude!!, it.longitude!!))
            .title(it.airLineDetails))?.setIcon(
            getBitmapDescriptorFromVector(requireContext(), R.drawable.ic_flight_blue))
