Android Google Maps - how to provide updated custom tile

I run server with my proprietary map tiles, used by the Google Maps v2 API in my Android app. I frequently generate new updated tiles, and need the users' maps to reflect these. How do I inform the Google Maps API that a particular tile should be invalidated and re-requested? I do not want to use clearTileCache() as this will also needlessly clear tiles which have not changed.

You will have to use clearTileCache. To avoid unnecessary recalculation of unchanged tiles let the tile provider read from your own cache that keeps the tiles in a map with a key which is build from the zoom level and the x and y coordinates of the tiles.
