In the below example I have created animation TextView. Here first I have created a animation.xml layout, in animation layoout I have set scale property after then I have added TextView in activity_main.xml and finaly at last In MainActivity I have used AnimationUtils.loadAnimation() method and started the animation with startAnimation() method of target view.See the below code it will clerly describe you how to make animation TextView

Step(1)-Created animation.xml layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator" android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_width="0dp">
    <scale
        android:fromXScale="1.0"
        android:toXScale="0.8"
        android:fromYScale="1.0"
        android:toYScale="1.2"
        android:pivotX="50%"
        android:pivotY="50%"
        android:duration="100"
        android:repeatCount="4"
        android:repeatMode="reverse" />
</set>

Step(2)-activity_main.xml layout-

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Rajshekhar"
        android:textStyle="bold|italic"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/mytext"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Welcome in Evon"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="28sp"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:textColor="#E75555" />

</LinearLayout>

Step(3)MainActivity-

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Animation animation;
    TextView myText;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        myText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mytext);

        animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.animation);

        myText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                myText.startAnimation(animation);
            }
        });
    }
}
