Is there a way to programatically create a gradient on an image in Android?

On Android.

I am looking for a way to create a background drawable which will give the image a transparent gradient.

Aiming to have the top of the image slightly less opaque than the original image and fade down to a completely transparent image.

Would like to do this as part of a drawable so I can apply to any of the items within a RecyclerView during run time.

Be grateful for any help if anyone has any idea.

enter image description here

Example - Drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/your_image"/>

    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <gradient android:startColor="#00efefef"
                android:endColor="#ffefefef"
                android:angle="270"
                android:type="linear"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>
