In your XML add this:

android:elevation="2dp"    
android:background="@drawable/myrect"

In your Drawable folder add this drawable:

<!-- res/drawable/myrect.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="#42000000" />
    <corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
