Add shadow to your textview with x , y = 0 and Radious value as much as you like to glow. 

<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:text="Glowing" 
android:textSize="40sp" 
android:textStyle="bold" 
android:shadowColor="#0000ff" 
android:textColor="#C02938" 
android:shadowDx="0.0" 
android:shadowDy="0.0" 
android:shadowRadius="10"/>
