I don't think there's a reasonable way to do it. Someone may jump in
and prove me wrong, but that's my belief. Just because it's a common
request doesn't mean that Google has implemented it.

You could achieve something similar with the v3 Google Maps JavaScript
API in a webview. FWIW, here's an example (not mine) of the JS maps
rotating:
http://googlemaps.googlermania.com/en_examples/compass/the%20compass.html
Note that it has issues; map dragging doesn't rotate along with the
map image.

Also, doesn't the GMaps app for iPhone already do this? That means
Google is probably working on it, and it's only a matter of time until
that feature makes it into the Android app, and (eventually) the SDK.

But for now, I think you're on your own.
