As I understood, you need something like this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#cabababa"/>
            <corners android:radius="2dp"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item
        android:left="0dp"
        android:right="2dp"
        android:top="0dp"
        android:bottom="2dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
            <corners android:radius="0dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Use this approach to get your desired look. button.xml :

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
    <item android:right="5dp" android:top="5dp">
        <shape>
            <corners android:radius="3dp" />
            <solid android:color="#D6D6D6" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:bottom="2dp" android:left="2dp">
        <shape>
            <gradient android:angle="270" 
                android:endColor="#E2E2E2" android:startColor="#BABABA" />
            <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#BABABA" />
            <corners android:radius="4dp" />
            <padding android:bottom="10dp" android:left="10dp" 
                android:right="10dp" android:top="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    </layer-list>
    </item>

   </selector>

Add this xml to your button background property.
