Try adding your image as Background and the image you want above it as source.

  • One of this depending what image u use: imageView.setImageBitmap(bm); imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable); imageView.setImageResource(R.id.my_res_id); – superM Sep 12 '11 at 10:40

You will need to merge images:

public static Bitmap mergeBitmaps(Bitmap original, Bitmap overlay) {
    Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(original.getWidth(), original
        .getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(result);
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);

    canvas.drawBitmap(original, 0, 0, paint);
    canvas.drawBitmap(overlay, 0, 0, paint);

return result;

}
