Android - Application background using styles.xml

I am trying to set the background globally in the styles.xml using the following code

styles.xml

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light" >      
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/background</item>      
  </style>
</resources>

I have also added it in AndroidManifest.xml file

<application android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

....
</application>

But the image is not getting displayed. I have images in all the drawable folders.

Try this.

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/background</item>
</style>
