Use AppcompatTextView from the Support Library:

TextView textView = new AppCompatTextView(MainActivity.this);

or if that doesn't work:

AppCompatTextView textView = new AppCompatTextView(MainActivity.this);

The reason this works is that when you define views in XML and you are using an AppCompat context (like AppCompatActivity), then the TextView that gets inflated is not the TextView class in the Android framework, but the TextView subclass called AppCompatTextView. This is true for several other widgets. You can check this to see several other widgets that get overridden.
