CODE :- ``` /** * Update marker position and icon */ private void setMarker() { synchronized (OBJ_LOCK) { if (mLatitude != 0.0 || mLongitude != 0.0) { mRotatedBitmap = rotateBitmap(mOriginalMarkerBitmap, mBearing); if (mRotatedBitmap != null) { mCurrentPositionIcon = BitmapDescriptorFactory .fromBitmap(mRotatedBitmap); mCurrentLocationMarker.position(new LatLng(mLatitude, mLongitude)); mCurrentLocationMarker.icon(mCurrentPositionIcon); mCurrentLocationMarker.anchor(0.5f, 0.5f); if (currentMarker != null && mCurrentPositionIcon != null) { currentMarker.setIcon(mCurrentPositionIcon); currentMarker.setAnchor(0.5f, 0.5f); currentMarker.setPosition(new LatLng(mLatitude, mLongitude)); } else { currentMarker = mGoogleMap .addMarker(mCurrentLocationMarker); } } } } } ``` logcat- ``` 02-03 14:28:53.621: E/AndroidRuntime(28639): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 02-03 14:28:53.621: E/AndroidRuntime(28639): java.lang.RuntimeException: Error receiving broadcast Intent { act=medigit.rtid.MESSAGE_ACTION flg=0x…

Accepted Answer

This worked for me: don't use a dead marker reference: currentMarker can be not null but at the same time might be referred to a previous map.

Always discard marker references when you don't need them (onDestroy or onPause), and always get new ones, simply don't rely only on `currentMarker!=null`

```
    ...

if (currentMarker == null)
        currentMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(mCurrentLocationMarker);

if (mCurrentPositionIcon != null) {
        currentMarker.setIcon(mCurrentPositionIcon);
        currentMarker.setAnchor(0.5f, 0.5f);
        currentMarker.setPosition(new LatLng(mLatitude,mLongitude));
    }

...

@Override
public void onPause() {
    currentMarker.remove();
    currentMarker = null;
}
```
