For a Kotlin user.Please check below code.As I ddid in Fragment class.

class MapPinFragment : Fragment() {

    private lateinit var googleMap1: GoogleMap

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    }

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map_pin, container, false)
    }

    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState)
        mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        mapView.onResume()

    }

    override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)


        mapView.getMapAsync { googleMap ->
            googleMap1 = googleMap as GoogleMap
            addCustomMarker()
        }

    }

    private fun addCustomMarker() {
        Log.d("addCustomMarker", "addCustomMarker()")
        if (googleMap1 == null) {
            return
        }
        // adding a marker on map with image from  drawable
        googleMap1.addMarker(
            MarkerOptions()
                .position(LatLng(23.0225 , 72.5714))
                .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(getMarkerBitmapFromView()))
        )
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        if (mapView != null)
            mapView.onDestroy()
    }
    override fun onLowMemory() {
        super.onLowMemory()
        mapView.onLowMemory()
    }

    private fun getMarkerBitmapFromView(): Bitmap? {
        val customMarkerView: View? = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.view_custom_marker, null)
//        val markerImageView: ImageView =
//            customMarkerView.findViewById(R.id.profile_image) as ImageView
        customMarkerView?.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED );
        customMarkerView?.layout(0, 0, customMarkerView.measuredWidth, customMarkerView.measuredHeight);
        customMarkerView?.buildDrawingCache();
        val returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
            customMarkerView!!.measuredWidth, customMarkerView.measuredHeight,
            Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888
        )
        val canvas = Canvas(returnedBitmap)
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN)
        val drawable = customMarkerView.background

        drawable?.draw(canvas);
        customMarkerView.draw(canvas);
        return returnedBitmap;

    }
