Existing location marker cannot be rotated to show compass. Also - location marker is only shown when you have GPS signal requested, but compass you have always available.
In one application (Nuticharts Lite) we have created usual Android view for Compass visualization and added it to the layout, so it is on top of map in one map corner. It reads sensor data from Android compass hardware and has absolutely no knowledge about mapping SDK (and vice versa).
