Disable all Gestures:
mapView.getMap().getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);
Disable just Zoom
mapView.getMap().getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);

It took me a little time but I have a solution for this. What I did is stop the event propagation if more than one finger is touching the screen.
mapView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getPointerCount() > 1) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
});

I found out that when you use
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);, onTouch() is only called once (the first time), so this method is useless... Do you think it's a MapView bug?

I can't really tell. In my application I had setBuiltInZoomControls on false and implemented my own controls.

+1 Yes this is the one! It gets called on my device every time the user attempts to use two fingers to do ... well whatever :). Thanks to this solution tapping still works - Great !

final UiSettings uiSettings = map.getUiSettings();
uiSettings.setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
uiSettings.setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);

Here is a little trick to fool pinch zoom :P (set a Zoom level and set the same level as maxZoom
var myOptions1 = {
//Coordinates of the map's center
center: new google.maps.LatLng(152,125),
//Zoom level
zoom: 15, // or any level of zoom you want to preload your map
maxZoom:15 // same as the zoom value makes sure the map is not zoomed,
//Other options are as per your requirements
