Seems like I have a code that does exactly that. I used it only for debugging, but here it is: DebugHelper.java.

Demo

Some notes:

  • you will also have to copy SphericalMercator.java
  • change IGoogleMap to original GoogleMap and IProjection to Projection
  • clusterSize parameter is in degrees, so you will have to change it depending on the zoom
  • finally: call drawDebugGrid in onCameraChange.

If you want to see it in action, you may run the demo of Android Maps Extensions. The only change you need to make to see grid is setting DEBUG_GRID to true on one of the first lines in GridClusteringStrategy.java.
