Add image on SurfaceView in Android

I have to implement a function in my Android app that allow me to insert a "marker" on a SurfaceView.

What that I need is simple: when I touch on the screen, a function capture the coordinates (x,y) of my touch, in this moment I need to show a marker in this position.

The marker can be removed later doing a tap on the marker (and eventually eliminate it through a menu)

What is the best way to do this ?

Is it possible create programmatically a imageView on the surfaceView or is better draw a bitmap with canvas?
