First you need to get the screen dimensions.

Use them to calculate the toast's position, and place it in the appropriate position.

Screen dimensions vary from device to device, so the position is also varying from device to device. – srikanth Sep 16 '13 at 07:56
Which is why I suggested you *get the screen dimensions* first. Check the first link out. – zmbq Sep 16 '13 at 08:01

For any one if facing this same problem would suggest you to try this out

IMP is that you are not in the activity class

  WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) appContext.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
  Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
  Point size = new Point();
  display.getSize(size);
    int width=size.x;
    int height=size.y;

where appcontext is ur own appcontext.

but if you are in the activity class you can use this

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

You may create a custom Toast message with a custom xml layout. Refer this example on Android Developers.
