I'm at work right now, so I can't test this, but I believe this should work:

LinearLayout linLay = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.theLinearLayoutId);

//set background to a color
linLay.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#404040"));

//set background to a drawable
linLay.setBackgroundDrawable(drawableItem);

//set background to a resource
linLay.setBackgroundResource(R.id.backgroundResource);

Did you try one of these : 

yourLayout.setBackgroundColor(int color);
yourLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable d);
yourLayout.setBackgroundResource(int resid);

and if does not refresh on its own, this should give it a boost : 

   yourLayout.invalidate();
