The location button is actually an ImageView. You should first retrieve the fragment view that is associated with the map:

SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                                    .findFragmentById(R.id.map);

Next, you should get location view reference from the fragment:

ImageView locationButton = (ImageView) mapFragment.getView().findViewById(2);

Then change it’s image to anything you want. e.g.

locationButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon_location);

Hope it helps.
