Add MyLocationOverlay to the MapView:

me=new MyLocationOverlay(this, map);
map.getOverlays().add(me);

It will show the user's location (if you have the proper permissions) and it will show the user's orientation via a compass rose (if you run it on a device with the right sensors). You can see this, along with a custom overlay, in this sample project.
