To resolve this firstly you have to take static variable in the MapActivity.

e.g public static isMapRefreshed = false;

Then goto BalloonItemizedOverlay class there is a draw method there. write following code there to resolve this.

private BalloonOverlayView balloonView;

if(UsersNearMe.isMapRefreshed){ hideBalloon(); }

private void hideBalloon() { if (balloonView != null) { balloonView.setVisibility(View.GONE); } }

on mapview clicklistener change the static value for the isMapRefreshed to true. and on tap change the static value for the isMapRefreshed to false
