With the new Maps Api Setting the Icon for a Marker is done with the following Code:

MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.icon_location));

The icon can not be changed after a Marker was created. To change an icon remove the marker and readd it with a new image.
