It is not possible.

If you just need to add background to your ImageView use setBackgroundColor(Color.RED).

Or if you're really need to use View as a background, you can use FrameLayout:

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <View
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp" />

</FrameLayout>

However this is not recomended, since there will be unneccecary overdraw.
