Based on @Wirling answer we can use foreground to set both the color and the ripple effect

Note: Foreground requires android API level 23(M) and above:

    getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.selectableItemBackground, outValue, true);
    view.setForeground(getDrawable(getContext(), outValue.resourceId));
}
