Use a reference of that TextView to to set the text. Then add this TextView to LinearLayout.

ex - 

TextView text = new TextView(yourActivity.this);
text.setText("Sample Text");
ll.addView(text);

// ll is your LinearLayout.

When adding the customTextView set the tag using setTag method. And then to retrieve it use linearLayout.findViewWithTag method to retrieve the customTextView and as usual use setText to set the text

You an also alternatively set the id using setId and retrieve it using findViewById method

If I right understand it will help you. Good luck!

LinearLayout layout = findViewById(id_linear_layout);
((TextView) layout.findViewById(id_textview)).setText("Text");
