You can try putting a overlay and then animate it based on alpha — ROHIT LIEN, Apr 30 '20 at 21:58

The easiest way of making textView blur is :

textView= itemView.findViewById(R.id.layout_id);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
            textView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
        }
        float radius = textView.getTextSize() / 3;
        BlurMaskFilter filter = new BlurMaskFilter(radius, BlurMaskFilter.Blur.NORMAL);
        textView.getPaint().setMaskFilter(filter);
