Set cursor in middle of EditText if not null else in the starting

In one of my edit text, when I'm writing I want the text to be witten in middle & If I delete the text or the text.length = 0, then I want the cursor to be on starting (left). For this I'm trying in the

I was thinking of doing it with Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL & Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, in my TextChangedListener's afterTextChanged(). But it is not working.

How to do this?

Thanks

edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

                @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                            }

                   @Override
         public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                                    int after) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                            }

                @Override
              public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                           if(s.length()>0){
                                edittext.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
                             }
                             else{
                                  edittext.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
                             }

Try this..

if (TextUtils.isEmpty(editText.getText())) {
    editText.setSelection(0);
}else{
   //Sets the cursor position of the edittext
    editText.setSelection(POSITION_YOU_WANT);
}

ed.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

                                @Override
                                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

                                }

                                @Override
