How do I draw bold text on a Bitmap?

I want a Bitmap icon with bold text to draw it on map. I have a snippet to write text on image:

Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(PropertyMapList.this.getResources(),
        R.drawable.location_mark);
TextPaint paint = new TextPaint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setTextSize(14);
paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
//paint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
Bitmap copy = icon.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true); 
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(copy);
//canvas.drawText(jsonObj.getString("district_name"), 5, canvas.getHeight()/2, paint);
String districtName = jsonObj.getString("district_name");
StaticLayout layout = new StaticLayout((districtName.length()>25 ? districtName.substring(0, 24)+"..":districtName)+"\n"+jsonObj.getString("total_properties"), paint, canvas.getWidth()-10,Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_CENTER, 1.3f, 0, false);
canvas.translate(5, canvas.getHeight()/2); //position the text
layout.draw(canvas);

setFakeBoldText(true) doesn't work for me. I would like the text drawn on the Bitmap to be bolded.

Use the setTypeface method on your Paint object to set the font to something with the bold style turned on.

paint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD));

For Custom Fonts:

Typeface typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "fonts/bangla/bensen_handwriting.ttf"), Typeface.BOLD);

For Normal Fonts:

Typeface typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
// or
Typeface typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD;

and then

paint.setTypeface(typeface);

Kotlin syntax to setup Paint for bold text

paint = Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG).also { it.typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD }
