You have to make a custom view and use it as a Map Overlay.

Tell Its OnDraw() to invallidate whole view after 500ms and everytime drawing again use alternative image.

if you are using ImageView for icon then put below xml in drawable and use as a Imageview src.

<animation-list   android:id="@+id/my_animation" android:oneshot="false" 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image1" android:duration="150" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image2" android:duration="150" />
 </animation-list>

and use below code to set animation

 ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
 AnimationDrawable frameAnimation =    (AnimationDrawable)img.getDrawable();
 frameAnimation.setCallback(img);
 frameAnimation.setVisible(true, true);
 frameAnimation.start();
