You can get bearing from the location, that you received from the LocationManager and set it to the CameraPosition, like this:

    Location location = googleMap.getMyLocation();
    if (location != null) {
        CameraPosition position = CameraPosition.builder()
                .bearing(location.getBearing())
                .target(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()))
                .zoom(googleMap.getCameraPosition().zoom)
                .tilt(googleMap.getCameraPosition().tilt)
                .build();
        googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(position));
    }

Then your camera will rotate to your direction;
