How to add drop shadow to textview with rounded corners?

Question

I am trying to add a drop shadow to a textview that has its background set to a drawable to give it rounded corners. This is the effect I am trying to get: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_krkpxyd558NkhjMmdQZUdlc2c/view?usp=sharing

And this is how it currently looks: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_krkpxyd558UHE2YU5ENWhxWUE/view?usp=sharing

This is the current background set to the textview:

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

    <stroke
        android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/white"
         />

    <solid android:color="#ffffff" />

    <padding
        android:left="1dp"
        android:right="1dp"
        android:top="1dp" />

    <corners android:radius="5dp" />

</shape>

I have seen other guides showing how to add a drop shadow to views by setting a custom background, but I can't seem to find a way of combining both a drop shadow and rounded corners.

Any help would be much appreciated.
