My friend has transferred me some ether to my Metamask account but the ether hasn't reflected in my wallet. But in the ether scan, it is showing that my transaction was successful. What can I do to resolve this issue?

Looks like the owner of the account that took your eth is running scripts to send money to his or her self. Others have also had this problem and commented on etherscan as seen in the image below. An attacker can do this if an accounts is unlocked or has a compromised private keys.
This could also have resulted from your private key being compromised - either from metamask or from wherever you stored your wallet backup (cloud / email) / local computer).
Two items that could have resulted in this if you are coding or working with the geth console would be an unprotected RPC port with unlocked accounts or the use of personal.account.unlock
Initially looking at the transfer - only a small amount of value was transferred to this other account (10% of the initial transaction), but the gas price is set extremely high making the transaction fee take up the other 90% of the initial transaction, clearing out the account balance.
So the same thing happened to me and I did an audit. Like you say I cannot see the receipt in my transaction history, but if I net out all my transactions the balance it give me is the exact amount off that my withdrawal was for.
So the funds were received and usuable, just not properly recorded in the metamask transaction history.
Very annoying when trying to prepare for taxes and track portfolio progress.

Metamask sometimes has issues updating, I think it's due to Infura being overcapacity. The long term option is to run your own node, but a quick fix is to open metamask and change your network away from mainnet and back. That'll usually force a refresh of your balances.
