Assuming that your image data is in a String called myImageData, the following should do the trick:

    byte[] imageAsBytes = Base64.decode(myImageData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT);
    ImageView image = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.ImageView);
    image.setImageBitmap(
            BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length)
    );

For Base64 decoding, you can use http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/base64/ as Android doesn't contain Base64-support prior to 2.2.

Note, I didn't actually run this code, so you'll have to doublecheck for errors.

EDIT: Accepted post has now been updated to copy my answer below, either are correct

The accepted answer is not correct at least in JellyBean, KitKat or Lollipop. You should use the following which works for JPEG, PNG or GIF images.

byte[] imageAsBytes = Base64.decode(myImageData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT);
ImageView image = (ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.ImageView);
image.setImageBitmap(
        BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length)
);

Write down the Simple method pass the Base64 String and it will return the Bitmap object

Bitmap Base64ToBitmap(String myImageData)
    {
        byte[] imageAsBytes = Base64.decode(myImageData.getBytes(),Base64.DEFAULT);
        return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length);
    }
