Answer 1

edit (september 2018): dont use it as of Android P reflection on android SDK may throw exception!

I got it using reflection.

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setTitle("Title"); //important step to set it otherwise getting null
TextView title = null;
try{
        Field f = toolbar.getClass().getDeclaredField("mTitleTextView");
        f.setAccessible(true);
        title = (TextView) f.get(toolbar);
        title.setText("I have title TextView");
} catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
}

Please note that is works if I toolbar is not set to support ActionBar...

setSupportActionBar(toolbar); // with this set text view behave differently 
                              //and text may not be visible...
