AndroidXMapFragment returns null when initializing from fragment

SupportMapFragment is deprecated in here sdk and when i start the navigation, on screen rotation it crashing.

I updated to last version of sdk and followed instruction from official documentation: https://github.com/heremaps/here-android-sdk-examples/tree/master/turn-by-turn-navigation/app/src/main/java/com/here/android/example/guidance

I implemented on my project in activity but i need this to work on fragment as before.

i replace everything to AndroidX:

from Activity works

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public MapFragmentView(AppCompatActivity activity) {
   m_activity = activity;
   initMapFragment();
   initNaviControlButton();
}

private AndroidXMapFragment getMapFragment() {
    return (AndroidXMapFragment) m_activity.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapfragment);
}

Calling this from Activity works

MapFragmentView mapFragmentView = new MapFragmentView (this);

When i call this from Fragment

MapFragmentView mapFragmentView = new MapFragmentView (getActivity ());

This does not accept getActivity() because is not compatible.
androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity in MapFragmentView can not be applied to androidx.fragment.app.ragmentActivity

I try to cast it and it accepts

AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity = (AppCompatActivity) getActivity ();
MapFragmentView mapFragmentView = new MapFragmentView (appCompatActivity);

But now the method getMapFragment() return null

private AndroidXMapFragment getMapFragment() {
    /* this returns null */ return (AndroidXMapFragment) m_activity.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapfragment);
}

Here is fragment class, i removed other code to just simplify
