Hopefully this answer simplifies it for those still looking...

You can simply use a "chip" drawable. It does all the calculations correctly and is of much more minimal code.

See Standalone ChipDrawable

For completeness copied here:

res/xml/standalone_chip.xml:

---

in java:

// Inflate from resources.
ChipDrawable chip = ChipDrawable.createFromResource(getContext(), R.xml.standalone_chip);

// Use it as a Drawable however you want.
chip.setBounds(0, 0, chip.getIntrinsicWidth(), chip.getIntrinsicHeight());
ImageSpan span = new ImageSpan(chip);

Editable text = editText.getText();
text.setSpan(span, 0, text.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

End result:
