Layered-List bitmap padding

I'm creating a custom background with an arrow on the right. I can't seem to control the padding of the drawable; it is right next to the right edge. I would like to control the offset from the right. I've tried adding android:right and other <margin... attributes with no effect.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#bbbbbb"/>
        <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#000000" />
        <corners android:radius="5dip"/>
        <padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item>
    <bitmap 
       android:gravity="right"
       android:src="@drawable/btn_dropdown_arrow" />
</item>

Just create the shape using below code..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <solid android:color="#bbbbbb" />

    <stroke
        android:width="1dip"
        android:color="#000000" />

    <corners android:radius="5dip" />

</shape>

Then apply this to the background of the View. In that view we have attribute like drawable_right.

<android:drawable_right="@drawable/btn_dropdown_arrow">

Use of a right inset attribute in the bitmap's item tag will give the bitmap padding on the right:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#bbbbbb"/>
        <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#000000" />
        <corners android:radius="5dip"/>
        <padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:right="10dp">
    <bitmap 
       android:gravity="right"
       android:src="@drawable/btn_dropdown_arrow" />
</item>
