Padding not working in my Button

In my Button I have this XML:

 <Button
    android:id="@+id/btnFiltrarResultados"
    android:layout_width="18dp"
    android:layout_height="17dp"
    android:layout_above="@+id/searchView"
    android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="-37dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="29dp"
    android:background="@drawable/filtrar_explorar"
    android:cropToPadding="true"
    android:padding="20dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/txtExploreTitulo"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.01999998" />

But I can't seem to be able to add padding to it. I've tried using cropToPadding or using android:src but nothing seems to help...

Well it's not a way to add image in button, as you did in your xml fileandroid:background="@drawable/filtrar_explorar". because by default background image try to scale as much as possible and ignore padding.So the good practice is use ImageButton with android:src="@drawable/use_your_image" and add android:scaletype="fitCenter"

<ImageButton
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:src="@drawable/use_your_image"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:padding="10dp"
        />

You have 

android:layout_width="18dp"
android:layout_height="17dp"

and expect padding 20dp
