        if (googleMap == null) {
            googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                    R.id.map)).getMap();

            googleMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(false);
            googleMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(true);
            googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
            googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);

            MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Target Location  + "+ latitude+"  +"+longitude);
            marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_YELLOW));
         // adding marker

             Location myLocation  = googleMap.getMyLocation();
             if(myLocation!=null)
             {
                 double dLatitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
                 double dLongitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
                 Log.i("APPLICATION"," : "+dLatitude);

                         new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude)).title("My Location").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_BLUE)));
                // mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude), 8));*/

             }
             else
             {
                 Toast.makeText(this, "Unable to fetch the current location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
             }

You set your new marker's position when you initialize your map. But location provider will update your location for finding your real location. So you should track your location and change marker location on every update.
