In the newer versions of GoogleMaps for Android you can't call .setIcon() on a MarkerOptions object. Instead you have to add the marker options to the map which will give you a Marker on which you can then change the icon.

In Kotlin the code would look like this:

val markerOptions = MarkerOptions()
markerOptions.position(LatLng(40.419900, -111.880767))
val marker: Marker?  = googleMap?.addMarker(markerOptions)
val bitmapDescriptor = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker_customer_symbol)
marker?.setIcon(bitmapDescriptor)
