        TextView textView = new TextView(context);
        textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL|Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
        textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, TAB_VIEW_TEXT_SIZE_SP);
        textView.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
        //textView.setPadding(0,0,0,25);

Your TextView's height is set to WRAP_CONTENT, so it's internal Gravity has no effect on it's vertical positioning (because there's no extra bounds to position itself in).

If you want to get it vertically aligned, you need to either set the TextView's PARENT gravity to CENTER_VERTICAL, or set the TextView's height to MATCH_PARENT.

Either of those will give you the effect you seek.
