This makes my app work harder, but it solves the problem:

...
mImageIcon.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                v.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my-background);
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
                /*
                 * You can use another background rather than 0.
                 */
                v.setBackgroundResource(0);
                break;
            }

            return false;
        }// onTouch()
    });
