This was a bug bearer for me. You have to create a pin element in the xml as such if you want a hoover over the map on centre.

//onMapReady
 mMap = googleMap;

//In your listener/ screen code area
 LatLng latlong = mMap.getCameraPosition().target;

HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
     map.put("Latitude", latlong.latitude);
     map.put("Longitude", latlong.longitude);
   //push to your database

Updated 2018 The below codes are for Google Maps API for Android. In case anyone needs this Script:

double mylat = mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition().target.latitude;               
double mylon = mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition().target.longitude;

You can call:

map.getCenter();

to return a LatLng object.
