Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you are trying to set the alignment (or positional orientation) of an image inside of a layout? To do that you need to set the gravity property of the layout containing the View you align.

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.icon);

    RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(params);
    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

    layout.setGravity(Gravity.VERTICAL_CENTER | Gravity.TOP);
    layout.addView(imageView);

In this example I'm programmatically adding an image to a RelativeLayout in my layout resource, adding an ImageView, and aligning it so it will be placed at the top, vertical center position.
