Title is called InfoWindow. To achieve your custom window, you need:

1) Create class which implement GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter interface. Something like this (in this case just TextView):

public class MapItemAdapter implements GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter {

  TextView tv;

  public MapItemAdapter(Context context) {
      tv = new TextView(context);
      LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
      tv.setLayoutParams(lp);
      tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
  }


  @Override
  public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
      tv.setText(marker.getTitle());
      return tv;
  }

  @Override
  public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
      return null;
  }
}

2) Set adapter to GoogleMap you've received in onMapReady() callback:

@Override
public void onMapReady(final GoogleMap map) {
    ...
    map.setInfoWindowAdapter(new MapItemAdapter(this));
    ...
}
