You can use android:outlineProvider="none" .

Also, if you are using FloatingActionButton provided by the Material Components Library you can use a square fab just using the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute.

Something like:

  <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton 
          app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/..."
          app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/SquareFabShapeOverlay"
          ../>

And in the style:

      <style name="SquareFabShapeOverlay" parent="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MaterialComponents.FloatingActionButton">
        <item name="cornerSize">0dp</item>
      </style>
