Below solution is working -

txtUserName.post(new Runnable()
            {  
                @Override  
                public void run()
                {

                    int textviewWidth = getTextviewWidth(text, getWidthOfScreen());

                    int deviceWidth = getWidthOfScreen();

                    if (textviewWidth >= deviceWidth)
                    {

                        String userName = text.replace(" ", "\n");

                        txtUserName.setText(userName);
                    }
                }
            });


public int getTextviewWidth(String text, int deviceWidth)
    {

        txtUserName.setText(text);
        int widthMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(deviceWidth, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
        int heightMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        txtUserName.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
        return txtUserName.getMeasuredWidth();
    }

 public int getWidthOfScreen()
    {

        DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        (mContext).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
        int height = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
        int width = displaymetrics.widthPixels;

        return width;

    }

Just use "\n" where ever you want to split the text.
