My solution, custom attribute for ImageView :
https://github.com/henrychuangtw/Android-ImageView-hover

Step 1 : declare-styleable

Step 2 : custom ImageView

public class MyImageView extends ImageView {

int resID, resID_hover;

public MyImageView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public MyImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

    TypedArray array = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.MyImageViewAttr);
    resID_hover = array.getResourceId(R.styleable.MyImageViewAttr_hover_res, -1);
    if(resID_hover != -1){
        int[] attrsArray = new int[] {
                android.R.attr.src 
            };

        TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, attrsArray);
        resID = ta.getResourceId(0 , View.NO_ID);           
        ta.recycle();

        setOnTouchListener(listener_onTouch);
    }

    array.recycle();

}
public MyImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    TypedArray array = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.MyImageViewAttr);
    resID_hover = array.getResourceId(R.styleable.MyImageViewAttr_hover_res, -1);
    if(resID_hover != -1){
        int[] attrsArray = new int[] {
                android.R.attr.src 
            };

        TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, attrsArray);
        resID = ta.getResourceId(0 , View.NO_ID);           
        ta.recycle();

        setOnTouchListener(listener_onTouch);
    }

    array.recycle();
}



OnTouchListener listener_onTouch = new OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            setImageResource(resID_hover);
            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            setImageResource(resID);
            break;

        default:
            break;
        }


        return false;
    }
};

}

Step 3 : declare myattr : xmlns:myattr="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" in layout xml

Step 4 : set myattr:hover_res for MyImageView
