android:gravity controls the positioning of the contents of a widget or
layout in its available space. That is not what you want here.

The simplest way to implement this is to use a RelativeLayout, using
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" on the TextView and
android:layout_centerVertical="true" on the View.
