By changing mappoint x and y values as you need you can change offset possition of google map,by default it will be in the center of the map view. Call below method where you want to change it! Better to use it inside your onLocationChanged
like changeOffsetCenter(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());
public void changeOffsetCenter(double latitude,double longitude) {
Point mappoint = mGoogleMap.getProjection().toScreenLocation(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
mappoint.set(mappoint.x, mappoint.y-100); // change these values as you need , just hard coded a value if you want you can give it based on a ratio like using DisplayMetrics as well
mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(mGoogleMap.getProjection().fromScreenLocation(mappoint)));
}
