Add these 2 properties to your CardView

android:outlineAmbientShadowColor="@color/yourShadowColor"
android:outlineSpotShadowColor="@color/yourShadowColor"

here you can change color first you can make a drawable file and paste this code in it. then in your layout inside cardview, you can assign as background file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape>
        <corners android:bottomLeftRadius="8dp"
            android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
            android:bottomRightRadius="8dp"
            android:topRightRadius="5dp"/>
        <solid android:color="#ddd"/>
    </shape>
</item>
