Documentation says when issue the following command on a vector layer (polygon), the vertex marker will be displayed in editing mode:

layer.startEditing()

But it is not displaying the vertex markers.

I found that there is a static drawVertexMarker method on QgsVectorLayer class, but do I have to manually call it to draw a marker on each vertex? Also, if I am moving vertex in editing mode, do I have to constantly re-draw all vertices?

Additionally, there is the editBuffer() property that returns the QgsVectorLayerEditBuffer reference, is it possible to display that buffer layer in editing mode for visual aid?

    @German Carrillo, thanks, that's it. Calling the 'canvas.refresh()' does it. How to flag your comment as the answer.

Perhaps you're just missing a call to 

iface.mapCanvas().refresh()

after you call startEditing() from the layer object. Doing so you can visualize vertex markers from your layer features.
