Alternatively, put the imageView in a layout of some sort and just set padding:

static class BorderView extends FrameLayout
    {
        public ImageView imageView;

        public BorderView(Context context)
        {
            super(context);

            setLayoutParams(//wrap content)
            imageView = new ImageView(context);//set image and so forth
            addView(imageView);
        }

        public void addSelectionBorder()
        {
            int border = 8;
            setPadding(border,border,border,border);
            setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
        }

        public void removeSelectionBorder()
        {
            int border = 0;
            setPadding(border,border,border,border);
            setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
        }
    }
