Apps Is it possible to disable the map tile fetching in MapView?

Hello!
I want to be able to enable and disable Google's map tiles in their MapView control. One way to do that is to enter a faulty API key but i can't use that as a sollution because then i have to restart the MapActivity when enabling or disabling the tiles. Is there any other way to disable the tile fetching?

I want to do this because i am placing overlays onto the MapView that can cover the entire view, and when Google's tiles aren't showing i'd like to skip downloading them to save bandwidth for the other overlays.
