In general, I try to mess as little as possible with backgrounds unless absolutely necessary, since doing so overrides the default background colors that have states for focused, pressed, etc. I suggest just using an additional view (in a vertical LinearLayout) that is as thick as you need it to be. For example:

 <View 
       android:background="#FF000000" 
       android:layout_height="2dp" 
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
