You can simply use this.

         TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
         Typeface Malayalam = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "AnjaliOldLipi.ttf");
         tv.setTypeface(Malayalam);
         tv.setText("റമീസ് ");

Download the ttf file from HERE and put it in the assets folder of your Android project.

  • In Eclipse go to Window -> Preferences, select General -> Workspace. From the Text file encoding dropdown, select UTF-8. – Remees M Syde Jul 31 '14 at 09:18

You can use Malayalam fonts for that, In setting page give choice to user to select fonts for the app.
