Can EditText's error message icon be changed?

In EditText, errors can be set programmatically like this:

if(TextUtils.isEmpty(nameEditText.getText()))
     nameEditText.setError(getString("This field is required"));

And as a result, this would show up:

enter image description here

Is there any way to change the error icon to an image or drawable?

Drawable icon = 
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_error_icon);
if (icon != null) {
icon.setBounds(0, 0, 
             icon.getIntrinsicWidth(),
             icon.getIntrinsicHeight());
}
editText.setError(“Error test”, icon);

You can use

if(TextUtils.isEmpty(nameEditText.getText()))
 nameEditText.setError(getString("This field is required"),iconDrawable);

where iconDrawable is a Drawable
