Look at this tutorial: http://codemagician.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/android-google-mapview-tutorial-done-right/

@Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.main);

 MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
 mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

 List mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
 Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon);
 HelloItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawable,this);
 GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(30443769,-91158458);
 OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(point, "Laissez les bon temps rouler!", "I'm in Louisiana!");

 GeoPoint point2 = new GeoPoint(17385812,78480667);
 OverlayItem overlayitem2 = new OverlayItem(point2, "Namashkaar!", "I'm in Hyderabad, India!");

 itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
 itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem2);

 mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
 }
 @Override
 protected boolean isRouteDisplayed()
 {
 return false;
 }
}
