how to show the current location as arrow in Google Maps Android API V2?

I am using Google Maps Android API V2. When I use Googlemap setMyLocationEnabled(true), the current location appears as a blue dot. How can I show the current location as a flashing arrow that can indicate the current heading?

Why does Google Maps show dot instead of arrow?

Now, the search giant has replaced the direction arrow on the blue dot with a beam to help you know the accuracy of the direction shown by the app.

Open your phone's Settings app. Under "Personal," tap Location access. At the top of the screen, turn Access to my location on or off.

Move!

The location will be indicated on the map by a small blue dot if the device is stationary, or as a chevron if the device is moving.
