I googled a bit. There is an answer. Try to use TransitionDrawable. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Transition

ADDED Code example:

    Button btn = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.btn1);
    //Let's change background's color from blue to red.
    ColorDrawable[] color = {new ColorDrawable(Color.BLUE), new ColorDrawable(Color.RED)};
    TransitionDrawable trans = new TransitionDrawable(color);
    //This will work also on old devices. The latest API says you have to use setBackground instead.
    btn.setBackgroundDrawable(trans);
    trans.startTransition(5000);
