Remove button shadow in java (Android)

I need to remove shadow from a button. Since it is created in java (not in xml) I can't see the option to do so. I know the following line can be used in xml.

android:stateListAnimator="@null"

Tried the same in java as follows.

myButton.setStateListAnimator(null);

But the problem is, it will work only on devices with 21 API or above. Is there any alternative way?

Use Button.setShadowLayer(float radius, float dx, float dy, int Color) and set radius to 0.

put 

android:background="@null"

I mean

myButton.setBackground(null);

EDIT: Other possibilities (sorry for xml):

  1. Set elevation as 0:

    mybutton.setElevation(0);

  2. Set background as transparent:

    android:background="@android:color/transparent"

  3. Set style to button:

        <Button
     ...
     style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
      ....
     />

    In Java code:

    Button button = new Button(getApplicationContext(), null, android.R.attr
        .borderlessButtonStyle);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonEndTime);
