pass your current location in this function where you have placed your marker. 

private void moveToCurrentLocation(LatLng currentLocation)
{   
    googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentLocation,15));
    // Zoom in, animating the camera.
    googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomIn());
    // Zoom out to zoom level 10, animating with a duration of 2 seconds.
    googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15), 2000, null);


}
