<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:drawable="@drawable/button_background" android:state_pressed="false"/>
<!-- default -->

create xml selector file.

    <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" android:state_window_focused="false"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/action_item_selected" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/action_item_selected" android:state_focused="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>

</selector>
