Shell TabBar rounded corners override default background color (View) behind

I'm applying rounded corner on a Shell TabBar like in Xamarin Forms Shell TabBar Rounded Corner.

My question: is it possible to put the view (background color) behind instead of above (default black color)?

You can set the BackgroundColor of the Parent to either the current ContentPage BackgroundColor or to it Content (probably a Layout) BackgroundColor.

    public void SetAppearance(BottomNavigationView bottomView, IShellAppearanceElement appearance)
        {
            var currentContentPage = (Shell.Current.CurrentPage as ContentPage);
            if (currentContentPage == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            if (currentContentPage.Content != null && currentContentPage.Content.BackgroundColor != Color.Transparent)
            {
                (bottomView.Parent as LinearLayout)?.SetBackgroundColor(currentContentPage.Content.BackgroundColor.ToAndroid());
            }
            else
            {
                (bottomView.Parent as LinearLayout)?.SetBackgroundColor(currentContentPage.BackgroundColor.ToAndroid());
            }

            bottomView.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.bottombackground);
        }

You can define the drawable background as follow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
            <solid android:color="#f00" />
            <corners android:topLeftRadius="20dp" android:topRightRadius="20dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

In addition, you can set the Elevation property to 0 in order to prevent the shadow:

bottomView.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.bottombackground);
bottomView.Elevation = 0;
