EDIT: Accepted post has now been updated to copy my answer below, either are correct

The accepted answer is not correct at least in JellyBean, KitKat or Lollipop. You should use the following which works for JPEG, PNG or GIF images.

byte[] imageAsBytes = Base64.decode(myImageData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT);
ImageView image = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.ImageView);
image.setImageBitmap(
        BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length)
);
