Applying View animation to Drawable directly instead of to the whole View

I have an animation that I use to make an ImageView bounce when it is clicked.

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/bounce_interpolator">
    <scale
        android:duration="500"
        android:fromXScale="1.5"
        android:fromYScale="1.5"
        android:pivotX="50%"
        android:pivotY="50%"
        android:toXScale="1.0"
        android:toYScale="1.0" />
</set>

and I apply it like this.

view.startAnimation(
    AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(view.getContext(), R.anim.bounce));

It works just fine, but the problem is that the animation affects not only the image drawn inside the ImageView but its background as well. When the animation occurs, its background enlarges and exceeds the view bounds, overlapping other views beside it. Is there a way to apply the animation only to the Drawable inside the ImageView, so that it does not affect the view background?

(P.S: If this question has already been answered, then please do mark it as a duplicate. I've searched but haven't been able to find an answer that matches what I am looking for.)

I'm not sure if that can be done. But as a workaround, you can place one ImageView over another. Set the background to the ImageView below and set the background for the ImageView above as transparent. Now set the Drawable to the ImageView on top and animate that ImageView.
