I am working on an android app that uses google maps. now I would like to know whether there is a possibility to color a google map e.g. have a different color for roads and other shapes.
E.g have something like this http://odopod.com/contact/

You can do this using the Flash API. Pretty sure the other APIs don't have it: http://blog.jactionscripters.com/2009/05/20/color-your-google-maps-flash-monochrome/

hm if it is so then there seems to be no possibility to do it in android. I clould paint the polygon by myself but this would be to much work on a mobile phone

The Javascript API does have this functionality (see my answer).

What you after is Styled Maps. This was introduced in the Javascript API recently, so I am pretty sure this functionality is not available a MapView on Android. You could do this with a Javascript based Google Map inside an Android WebView.
