Answer 1

Yes, you can remove the space at the bottom of the button using perfect height of button like android:layout_height="40dip"

Lyaout Code

<Button
android:id="@+id/tvQuickContactCall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dip"
android:layout_marginRight="15dip"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:drawableTop="@drawable/ic_call"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>

Graphical Layout

Answer 2

If you want a button that only contains an image (and no text), you should use an ImageButton :

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/profile"
    style="@style/DashboardButton"
    android:src="@drawable/abarprofile"/>

Answer 3

You could also try to use margin such as

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btnButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-10dip"
    android:layout_marginRight="-10dip"
    android:layout_marginTop="-10dip"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-10dip"
/>

By doing this way, the negative sign actually remove the spaces by the button.
