Resizable images are achieved using 9-patch images. Android SDK has 9-patch image creator & exact documentation is available at https://developer.android.com/studio/write/draw9patch.html.

As per doc

Blockquote

The dotted grey lines identify the regions of the image that will be replicated in order to stretch the image. The pink rectangle in the bottom image identifies the region in which the contents of the View are allowed. If the contents don't fit in this region, then the image will be stretched so that they do.

Use a circular png icon & create a 9-patch image to set it as the textview background.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/circle_red"
    android:gravity="center"/>
