Hope this trick will help:

Take a textview and add your image as it's background and set it's text to current date and time whatever you want. :)

Yes you can do that using onDraw(Canvas c) which takes canvas parameter.Here is also some functions of Canvas which can help you.

Thats a brilliant idea. And use padding and gravity to set the position of the text. – Jay Mayu Oct 03 '11 at 12:01

You should be able to just override the OnDraw method and you will get the canvas parameter.

Here is an example of someone overriding in this question: Creating Custom ImageView

In order to save this to a database you will just need to save the canvas as a bitmap
