GoogleMap moveCamera/animateCamera not working

I've got a map inside a fragment. I'm trying to move the camera to a specific position (on global layout):

@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
    getMapView().getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onMapReady(final GoogleMap googleMap) {
            LocationManager.onLocation(new CoordinatesCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onCoordinates(double latitude, double longitude) {
                    LatLng target = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
                    CameraPosition position = CameraPosition
                            .builder()
                            .target(target)
                            .zoom(10)
                            .build();
                    CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(position);
                    googleMap.moveCamera(cameraUpdate);
                }
            });
        }
    });
}

getMapView() returns my map view, the latitude/longitude are perfectly valid (typed them into maps, it's my home), tried both moveCamera and animateCamera, tried newLatLngZoom method too, but no avail. All I'm getting is an empty map view:

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: I've got other maps in various parts of my app, and they work just fine.

The problem had nothing to do with the camera. I was using MapView inside a fragment, which apparently isn't supported. I've changed MapView to MapFragment and it worked. It's absolutely ridiculous that Google just creates the map and it stays blank silently with a logo, instead of throwing an exception in case of this unsupported scenario.
