For future Googlers, here is an algorithm that I ported from Quasimondo. It's kind of a mix between a box blur and a gaussian blur, it's very pretty and quite fast too.
Update for people encountering the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException problem : @anthonycr in the comments provides this information :
I found that by replacing Math.abs with StrictMath.abs or some other
abs implementation, the crash does not occur.
/**
* Stack Blur v1.0 from
* http://www.quasimondo.com/StackBlurForCanvas/StackBlurDemo.html
* Java Author: Mario Klingemann <mario at quasimondo.com>
* http://incubator.quasimondo.com
*
* created Feburary 29, 2004
* Android port : Yahel Bouaziz <yahel at kayenko.com>
* http://www.kayenko.com
* ported april 5th, 2012
*
* This is a compromise between Gaussian Blur and Box blur
* It creates much better looking blurs than Box Blur, but is
* 7x faster than my Gaussian Blur implementation.
*
* I called it Stack Blur because this describes best how this
* filter works internally: it creates a kind of moving stack
* of colors whilst scanning through the image. Thereby it
* just has to add one new block of color to the right side
* of the stack and remove the leftmost color. The remaining
* colors on the topmost layer of the stack are either added on
* or reduced by one, depending on if they are on the right or
* on the left side of the stack.
*
* If you are using this algorithm in your code please add
* the following line:
