Use the built-in methods:

public static Bitmap toGrayscale(Bitmap srcImage) {

    Bitmap bmpGrayscale = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcImage.getWidth(), srcImage.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmpGrayscale);
    Paint paint = new Paint();

    ColorMatrix cm = new ColorMatrix();
    cm.setSaturation(0);
    paint.setColorFilter(new ColorMatrixColorFilter(cm));
    canvas.drawBitmap(srcImage, 0, 0, paint);

    return bmpGrayscale;
}
