I have created my own custom dialog with a dropped shadow, you can use it as your desire, in the first step you should create a Android shape for both shadow and dialog frame. Here is what I have supplied (dialog_frame_shadow.xml):

In the next step you should change your dialog theme as what is in the following:

Now you are done, just create a new instance of the Dialog class and apply this theme to it (in Dialog constructor):

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this, R.style.my_dialog_theme);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.mdialog);
dialog.show();

Here is its screenshot:
