How to implement a overlapping TextView in a ImageView, which combinely works as a Button?

Question

I am new to Android development and I need to know if I can overlap an imageView and a TextView together into a button. It should be similar to the image that I've shared and I need to frame it in a GridLayout with 2 columns. If I use FrameLayout for each imageView and textView it becomes little complex, is there any alternative method?
