Here is the procedure for converting string to bitmap but string should Base64 encoding

  /**
   * @param encodedString
   * @return bitmap (from given string)
   */
  public Bitmap StringToBitMap(String encodedString){
 try{
   byte [] encodeByte=Base64.decode(encodedString,Base64.DEFAULT);
   Bitmap bitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodeByte, 0, encodeByte.length);
   return bitmap;
 }catch(Exception e){
   e.getMessage();
   return null;
 }
  }
