Try and use getPaddingLeft() but I am not sure whether it will return any value since you are not setting any padding. I don't think setting the gravity actually effects the padding.

UPDATE

This would be a hack to do it and a little inaccurate. (I'll see if I can improve it)

int txtSize = txt.getTextSize(); 
int count = txt.getText().toString().length(); 
int txtWidth = txtSize*count; 
int padding = txt.getWidth()/2 - txtWidth/2;
