You can achieve it by using split function and populate textview's in a Layout like this :

 layout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);
 String data="I just watched #StarWars and it was incredible. It's a #MustWatch #StarWars";
TextView textView;
     String [] s=data.split(" ");
     for(int i=0;i<s.length;i++){
         if(s[i].matches("#([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)")){

              textView=new TextView(this);
              textView.setText(s[i]);
              textView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000763"));
              textView.setTag(s[i]);
              textView.setOnClickListener(viewClicked(textView));
         }else{
             textView=new TextView(this);
              textView.setText(" "+s[i]);
         }
         layout.addView(textView,i);
     }

and a Method to handle click event to required Textview's :

 View.OnClickListener viewClicked(final TextView textView)  {
    return new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), v.getTag().toString(), 1000).show();

        }
    };
}
