Create an ImageView (Use a transparent .PNG for your src image):

res/layout/yourlayout.xml

<ImageView
    android:layout_width=:"wrap_content"
    android:layout_height=:"wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/colorstates"
    android:src="@drawable/image" />

res/drawable/colorstates.xml

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/regular"
        android:state_checked="true"
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/pressed"
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/pressed"
        android:state_checked="true" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/regular" />
</selector>

yes the image needs a transparent background, otherwise it will cover the background color. Use the background attribute for the color and src for the image. Also check out the doc. For the pressed state, use google!
