When you switch MapViews, make sure to resume them. Also, you need to add/remove the LocationIndicator yourself. During navigation you can swap the MapView instance (if needed):

public void swapMapView(MapView newMapView) {
    if (isVisualNavigatorRenderingStarted) {
        visualNavigator.stopRendering();
        mapView = newMapView;
        customLocationIndicator.enable(mapView);
        customLocationIndicator.setLocationIndicatorStyle(LocationIndicator.IndicatorStyle.NAVIGATION);
        visualNavigator.setCustomLocationIndicator(customLocationIndicator);
        visualNavigator.startRendering(mapView);
    } else {
        this.mapView = newMapView;
    }
}

Make sure to set the indicator also to the VisualNavigator.

There is an example app that shows how to use custom location indicators: https://github.com/heremaps/here-sdk-examples/tree/master/examples/latest/navigate/android/NavigationCustom
