You can declare the image when you initialize the map:

var overlay;

function initialize() {
  var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);
  var myOptions = {
    zoom: 11,
    center: myLatLng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
  };

  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

  var swBound = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);
  var neBound = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);
  var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(swBound, neBound);

  // This is where you declare your image...
  var srcImage = 'images/yourimage.png';
  overlay = new USGSOverlay(bounds, srcImage, map);
}

I know this question is old, but if anyone just wants to change to pin or marker color, then check out the documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/marker

when you add your marker simply set the icon-property:

GoogleMap gMap;
LatLng latLng;
....
// write your code...
....
gMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
    .position(latLng)
    .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN));

There are 10 default colors to choose from.
