Do not want to show the exact location with Google Map in my Android app

This might be a bit off-topic. But I have been searching a lot for this and could not find anything.

I am developing an app, which would show to the user the near-by activities happening based on his current location. The client wants to show all the near-by activities in a map like view. But the issue is that he does not want to show the exact locations of the activities, due to privacy issues. Just a rough view of the things happening around in a map would be ideal.

Is it possible to prevent showing the exact details using a google map. Is there any alternate visual representation for this scenario.

Kindly help.

You may send to Android application a LatLng that is randomized and accuracy value in meters. This way you can represent an activity using Circle class with optional Marker in the center, so you can get info windows easily.
