@nisha.113a5 That's called a **gradient**, not a **shadow**. — Phantômaxx, Dec 29 '14 at 08:43

Try below code:

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);         
        Shader textShader=new LinearGradient(0,0, 60, 20,
                new int[]{Color.WHITE,Color.TRANSPARENT},
                new float[]{0, 1}, TileMode.CLAMP);         
        txt.getPaint().setShader(textShader);

I guess all you need to adjust (if required) is those values like 60,20 in above.

I am attaching the screenshot of the result, for reference. enter image description here
