I know it's pretty old question but given answers didn't work for me. Turns out in order to gravity property work you just need to add size tag in drawable item.

So following will work as expected:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#EEEEEE" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item
        android:gravity="bottom">
        <shape android:shape="line">
            <size android:height="2dp"/>
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#010101"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>
