How to change TextView's background color dynamically?

I have reffered this question and implemented circular background for TextView using circle.xml (in res/drawable) and setting it as android:background="@drawable/circle" for TextView. But what I need is , I need to set the background color dynamically through code. Just like the lollipop contacts app as shown below

How can I acheive this? I need the TextView background in circular shape always as shown in above image

You can change TextView background color in many ways like:

textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f44336"));

or

textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

or

textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0));

or

textView.setBackgroundColor(getColor(R.color.red_color));

and many other ways too...

Edit:

If you want to change your TextView background color that was defined in your drawable file, do it like this:

GradientDrawable:

GradientDrawable tvBackground = (GradientDrawable) textView.getBackground();
tvBackground.setColor(Color.parseColor("#f44336"));

StateListDrawable:

StateListDrawable tvBackground = (StateListDrawable) textView.getBackground();
tvBackground.setColorFilter(Color.parseColor("#f44336"), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

But if you don't want to set a color filter, you can get the drawable of each state separately by following the answer in this link.
