GoogleMaps instance you created with your map.

// map is a GoogleMap object


map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

and

 // Get the button view 

View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(1).getParent()).findViewById(2);

// and next place it, for exemple, on bottom right (as Google Maps app)

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
// position on right bottom

rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
rlp.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
