I managed to do this!! First you declare buttonStyle.xml in drawable folder.

Then you create button_pressed.xml in drawable folder.

After that, you create button_normal.xml in drawable folder.

You can use default colors but if you want to do it like me, you need to have a file named colors.xml in values folder and this values inside:

#2A3748
  #602A3748

@color/gnfrBlueColor
    @color/semiTransparentGnfrBlueColor
  

Finally you set this to your button or whatever:

savedAccountLoginButton.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.buttonStyle);

NOTICE THAT I set a stroke with color transparent because when you set backgroundresource your button becomes bigger and with this trick it remains original.

This is the only way I could archieve this programmatically.

If you want to do this by XML:
