Have you tried this:

TextView tv = (TextView) findVieById(R.id.my_textview); //replacing my_textview with the correct resource id
tv.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);

int blue = 0xff0000ff;
int red = 0xffff0000;
text.setBackgroundColor(blue);
text.setTextColor(red);

You could set a listener to control the desired behavior on the "click" event. Something like this:

textView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
       v.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
    }
});

If you want to deselect the selected TextView when you click in a new one, just change the background colors of the preciously selected TextView.

Android TextView's API here.

Hope it helps :D
