Answer 1

mapView.invalidate();

i was missing to update map. now working fine. so the whole code look like

if(!mapOverlays.isEmpty()) 
     { 
     mapOverlays.clear(); 
     mapView.invalidate();

 }

Wow, spent a couple hours trying until I found this thread, thanks much, and hope the docs/tuts on the G API were more clear. Or maybe if they had some web 2.0 right there (like PHP.net)...
