I did it using this code, make sure you test it on Device because the emulator or graphical viewer doesn't support this.

          <cz.vhrdina.textclockbackport.TextClock
            android:id="@+id/digitalClock"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:shadowColor="@color/shadow_color"
            android:shadowDx="1"
            android:shadowDy="1"
            android:shadowRadius="10"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="30sp" />
