Simplest way to put text on drawable programmatically

I have this icon: icon

I am going to work with it as drawable.

Drawable myIcon = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.icon );

I need programmaticaly put some text on it (file extension).

This is my desired result: desired result.

I can't make several static icons because I can receive arbitrary file extension

If you are not going to print somewhere this image and you simply have to display it on the screen, probably the easiest way is to print the text on the center of the img.

You can do it by using a RelativeLayout

<RelativeLayout> // Only works inside a RelativeLayout
  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/myImage"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/myImageSouce" />

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/myImageText"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/myImage"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/myImage"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/myImage"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/myImage"
    android:layout_margin="1dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="Hello"
    android:textColor="#000000" />
 </RelativeLayout>

This is probably the easiest solution and it will align the text at the center of the image, based on img sizes.

public BitmapDrawable writeOnDrawable(int drawableId, String text){

        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), drawableId).copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);

        Paint paint = new Paint(); 
        paint.setStyle(Style.FILL);  
        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK); 
        paint.setTextSize(20); 

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);
