You can use OpenCV for Android they have samples similar to what you want.

I dont want openCV its just to see weather the position is correct – devian May 23 '13 at 06:22
Well, then, as the other answer suggests, you have a SurfaceView, right? You can draw on the surface view as they do in SDK Lunar Landler sample. You can have a camera preview callback set up so you are getting the preview pixels and determine somehow what to draw from them http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.PreviewCallback.html – Alexander Kulyakhtin May 23 '13 at 06:30

You will need to create a custom camera activity
