 StaticLayout yourLayout = new StaticLayout(text, mTextPaint,
            canvas.getWidth(), Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL, 1.0f, 0.0f,
            false);
 canvas.translate((canvas.getWidth() / 2) - (yourLayout.getWidth() / 2), (canvas.getHeight() / 2) - ((yourLayout.getHeight() / 2)));

This work for me.

Align.CENTER is for horizontal alignment. If you want to center vertically, you need to find the maximum height for the text and then position vertically within canvas by translating vertically using canvas.translate
