Set the scaleType to fitStart in your XML:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/ivMap"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scaleType="fitStart" >
</ImageView>

You can use ImageView.ScaleType.MATRIX and set image matrix using ImageView.setImageMatrix(). Matrix can be obtained using Matrix.setRectToRect() method.

Please check Terel's answer, which is said to be the correct answer.

Depending on what else is in the layout, a solution could be to use another layout (i.e. a FrameLayout which is rather light) in place of the ImageView, and have the ImageView in place of the actual image, with its android:layout_gravity="top".

Have you tried using the attribute android:gravity = "top" I see that for your ImageView you are using android:layout_gravity maybe you could try using the other one. As far as I know, the "android:layout_gravity" attribute is used for setting the gravity of the element within its parent, while the "android:gravity" attribute is for setting the gravity of the element's contents. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong! =P hehe!)

Wouldn't it be easier to use a RelativeLayout? With android:layout_alignParentTop="true" and android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" you can achieve the desired effect.
