Answer 1

You could try this.

    private Paint paint;
    private Paint circlePaint;

    paint = new Paint();
    circlePaint = new Paint();

    paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    paint.setTextSize(18f);
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);

    Rect bounds = new Rect();
    paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);

    circlePaint.setColor(Color.RED);
    circlePaint.setAntiAlias(true);

    canvas.drawCircle(-3, 15 - (bounds.height() / 2), bounds.width() + 5, circlePaint);

    canvas.drawText(text, -3, 15, paint);

Note : (-3,15) is the starting co-ordinates to draw the text and (+5) is the padding.
