Cannot find symbol method "getSupportFragmentManager()"

This method getSupportFragmentManager() belongs to FragmentActivity, how can I replace this method, if I used only extends Fragment?

I get this error

Error:(30, 42) error: cannot find symbol method getSupportFragmentManager()

using this code in public class MapsFragment extends FragmentActivity:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_maps,container, false);   
  if (mMap == null) {
    // Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
    mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
    // Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
    if (mMap != null) {
      mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(57.70, 11.96)).title("Marker"));
      }
    }

If you want to access the fragment manager from a Fragment, even from the support library, you should use the getFragmentManager() method.

use 

mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

instead of

mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
