In order to request focus to TextView you need to set focusable="true" and focusableInTouchMode="true" as follows:

 <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Heading"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
                <requestFocus />
     </TextView>
