Well the right way to do it would be to make a custom control named MyImageTextView extends View and use onDraw method to draw image and text on it using canvas.

public class MyImageTextView extends View {
     String textOnImage;
     Bitmap bitmapBackground;

     public MyImageTextView(Context context) {
         super(context);
         init();
     }

     public MyImageTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
         super(context, attrs);
         init();
     }


     public MyImageTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr)
     {
         super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
         init();
     }

     @Override
     protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         super.onDraw(canvas);

         int centerx = getWidth() / 2;
         int centery = getHeight() / 2;

         canvas.drawBitmap(bitmapBackground, 0, 0, null);
         drawText(canvas, centerx , centery , textOnImage)
     }

     public void drawText(Canvas canvas, float x, float y, String text) {
         int consumedCalTextSize =      getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.food_circular_graph_text_size);
        Paint canvasTextPaint = new Paint();
        canvasTextPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
        canvasTextPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
        canvasTextPaint.setTextSize(consumedCalTextSize);
        canvasTextPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
        canvas.drawText(text, x, y, canvasTextPaint);
    }
}

You can have full access to modify this custom control and also you can add it in your XML. Android controls are really powerful that way.

Create one layout and set the required background image, and have a textview inside that layout to set your text.

Then inside your java code get this and covert it to bitmap.

FrameLayout view = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.framelayout);

view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

view.buildDrawingCache();

Bitmap bm = view.getDrawingCache();

Then u can share this bitmap to facebook

Use the text view and set background to it 

android:background="@drawable/myResouce"

Or from within your code :

  mTextView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.myResouce);
