ConstraintLayout constraintLayout;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  // Create a ConstraintLayout in which to add the ImageView
  constraintLayout = new ConstraintLayout(this);

  // Instantiate an ImageView and define its properties
  ImageView i = new ImageView(this);
  i.setImageResource(R.drawable.my_image);
  i.setContentDescription(getResources().getString(R.string.my_image_desc));

  // set the ImageView bounds to match the Drawable's dimensions
  i.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
  i.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
          ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
          ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

  // Add the ImageView to the layout and set the layout as the content view.
  constraintLayout.addView(i);
  setContentView(constraintLayout);
}

En otros casos, tal vez prefieras manejar tu recurso de imagen como si fuera un objeto Drawable. Por ejemplo:

Resources res = context.getResources();
Drawable myImage = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(res, R.drawable.my_image, null);
