Android custom checkbox (or ToggleButton) with numbers inside

Question

I'm writing an app that will have 60 checkboxes, numbered 1-60. My goal is to achieve something like this:

Is there a way to achieve this without having to draw 60 .png files with the number inside? Could I draw only the edges and add the numbers as a text property of the button?

I tried customizing a ToggleButton (got the idea from here)

<ToggleButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:button="@drawable/toggle_selector"
    android:background="@null"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textOn="60"
    android:textOff="60" />

toogle_selector.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:state_checked="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/checked" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/not_checked" />
</selector>

but as a result, the text was placed at the right of the button. Is it possible to place the text on top of the image?

Maybe remove the "paddingLeft" item?

You can do it with relative layout with textview on top of Toggle button like this. Replace margins and size as per your need

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/background_floating_material_dark"
    tools:context="com.contag.app.fragment.NavDrawerFragment">
    <ToggleButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:button="@drawable/toggle_selector"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textOn="@null"
        android:textOff="@null"
        android:minHeight="0dp"
        android:minWidth="0dp"
        android:id="@+id/toggleButton"
        android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="156dp" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="60"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/toggleButton"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/toggleButton"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/toggleButton"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/toggleButton"
        android:gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
