this method i created , it will give you better idea how easily you can do this

  public static Drawable getTextToDrawable(final String sText, final float    textSize, final int textColor, final int bgColor, final int imageSize) {

    Shape shape = new Shape() {

        @Override
        public void draw(Canvas canvas, Paint paint) {
            paint.setTextSize(spToPixel(textSize));
            int ivImageSize = SUtils.dpToPx(imageSize);
            paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
            float baseline = -paint.ascent(); // ascent() is negative
            int width = (int) (paint.measureText(sText)); // round
            int height = (int) (baseline + paint.descent());
            Bitmap image = Bitmap.createBitmap(ivImageSize, (int) (ivImageSize), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
            canvas.drawBitmap(image, ivImageSize, ivImageSize, paint);
            paint.setColor(bgColor);
            if (sText != null) {
                if (sText.length() < 3) {

                    canvas.drawCircle(ivImageSize / 2, ivImageSize / 2, ivImageSize / 2, paint);
                    paint.setColor(textColor);
                    canvas.drawText(sText, (ivImageSize - width) / 2, (height+baseline)/2, paint);
                } else {
                    canvas.drawRect(0, 0, ivImageSize, height, paint);
                    paint.setColor(textColor);
                    canvas.drawText(sText, (ivImageSize - width) / 2, baseline, paint);

                }
            }
        }
    };
    return new ShapeDrawable(shape);
}
