Instead of string use TextView and change the background of it e.g

  TextView tv;
  tv.setText("yourText");
  tv.setTextColor(Color.CYAN);

Use spannable class to do this:

 Spannable WordtoSpan = new SpannableString(myString);        
            WordtoSpan.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, myString.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
