Positioning Google maps v2 zoom in controls in Android

Question

I've created a transparent actionbar but the zoom controls and the word 'Google' are behind it. I have no clue how to adjust their location. The default Google Map app on Android phones has them raised above the bottom action bar. Is it possible to reposition the zoom controls and the word 'Google'?

I know you can enable/disable the controls with:

 map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);

You can accomplish this with the GoogleMap.setPadding() method (added in September 2013):

map.setPadding(leftPadding, topPadding, rightPadding, bottomPadding);

From the API docs:

This method allows you to define a visible region on the map, to signal to the map that portions of the map around the edges may be obscured, by setting padding on each of the four edges of the map. Map functions will be adapted to the padding. For example, the zoom controls, compass, copyright notices and Google logo will be moved to fit inside the defined region, camera movements will be relative to the center of the visible region, etc.

Also see the description of how padding works in GoogleMap.
