Is there any possibility to capture piece of GoogleMap based on coords without displaying map and save it? I know there is SnapshotReadyCallback method, but I have to create map view to be able to do this. Any possibility to create something like 

 GoogleMap gm = new GoogleMap()

and then call 

 SnapshotReadyCallback

or should I create map in xml file and then hide it?

You can use the Google Static maps API to get an image of a map without having to load it on you devices screen.

Here is the documentation for Google Static maps API : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/index

Use one of the answers on this question to get the image from that API as a bitmap: How to display static google map on android imageview?

I am not sure if this is what you are after and since I spent all my credits on a bounty I cant post comments asking for more info any-more :(
