How to change text background color of a button in Android?

I have searched a lot but I haven't found what I want. What I’m planning to do is to change the background colour of text on a button. I’m not interested in changing the colour on click. I just want to change the background of the text on a button. Thank you.

Edit: This is a sample. I want to change the black colour if it possible.

Maybe you should try to use RelativeLayout instead of Button. Something like this: ` 

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:background="#ffffff" >
  <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Text"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:background="#000000"
        android:textSize="16sp" />
</RelativeLayout>`

You can use selector for this :

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:color="#ffffff" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#FF0000" />
    <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#FF0000" />
    <item android:color="#ffffff" />
</selector>

Place the xml in a file at res/drawable folder i.e. res/drawable/button_text_color.xml. Then just set the drawable as text color:

android:textColor="@drawable/button_text_color"

All the best

your question is not correctly asked,but what i understood:

to set the background color of text means create shadow of text on button

<style name="shadowed_button">
    <item name="android:shadowColor">#444444</item>
    <item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
    <item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
    <item name="android:shadowRadius">9</item>
</style>

and setting shadow programmatically

button.setShadowLayer(9, 1, 1, Color.rgb(44, 44, 44));

to set the background color of button

<Button
      android:id="@+id/street_btn"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:background="@drawable/layout_a" > <!-- your required color -->
    </Button>

         or

button.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

and third thing is onbutton click change background,but you already mentioned that,you don't want that effect.

enter image description here

no you can not do this with only button widget,you have to create two contols:

    button with textView:
set textview background color
 or 
    Image with textView:
set textview background color
 or
create [coumpound control][2]

Use this to set the text color of Button : 

setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

or

android:textColor="@color/white"

Use this to set the background of the button :

setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_img);

or 

android:background="@drawable/button_img"

or

android:background="@color/blue"
