To achieve different looks for various states of your button, you'll need to do more than just set the background image. You're going to need to define the various states in a drawable-xml file. Here's a tutorial on how to do this:

Add this file in your drawable folder,

btn_selector.xml

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

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_clicked_image" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_clicked_image" android:state_focused="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_normal_image"/>

</selector>

In your button add this

 android:background="@drawable/btn_selector"

your code working perfectly , but not need no change image only shadow or hover colour should be changed . – Pratap Manish Bhadoria Oct 03 '13 at 12:20
@PratapManishBhadoria: replace btn_clicked_image withyour hover/shadow color/image,now you replace the default button image with "@android:color/transparent" (instead of this "@drawable/btn_normal_image") – Aerrow Oct 03 '13 at 12:44

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

    <item android:drawable="@android:color/white" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/blue"/>

</selector>

You have to write a selector like this and place it into /res/drawable . Then set this as background of your button. Say, the name of above file is button_background.xml , then you have to do like this. Problem solved.

<Button
............
............
android:background="@drawable/button_background" />
