It is possible to put a animate image on a item of a googlemap? (like a gif)

Question

i have an android app with a googlemap view

i have to put an animated icon representing a gps position on the map

i know how to do it with a normal png image, but i want to use something like a GIF image, an animated image

how i can to do it?

EDIT:

THIS IS THE XML ANIMATED: animation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/miniicon" android:duration="200" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/miniicon2" android:duration="200" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/star" android:duration="200" />
</animation-list>

this is where i asign the XML animated to the drawable

//drawable2 = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.miniicon2); // Icono del programa, para mi posicion GPS
drawable2 = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.layout.animation); // Icono del programa, para mi posicion GPS

Another answer - there's a similar (but old) question on stackoverflow:

Image series (animation) over Google Maps

which if you look at the accepted answer, provides a demo link. Some other interesting comments as well.

You need to use an animation-list its just a simple xml file that you drop in the drawable folder. Here is an example, this is the download icon in the notification bar is done.

it doesn't works...... it always shows the first image... i will post the code on first question, see it and tell me if it's wrong please – NullPointerException Dec 02 '10 at 10:12
you don't 'call' it you just use it as your resource for your drawable. Just like you would a `selector` – Nathan Schwermann Dec 02 '10 at 15:33
just like you did above except it should be a drawable not a layout – Nathan Schwermann Dec 02 '10 at 23:36

For sure - OpenGL allows 2D images to be overlayed on top of the image, for one way to do it. Have a look at Does Google MapView in Android use OpenGL? for a similar question.
