you can just use simple View with background which will be gradient.

this gradient could be a shape drawable eg

 <shape>
   <gradient android:startColor="#000000" android:endColor="#FFFFFF" android:angle="90"/>
 </shape>

you just need to set appropriate angle for your shadow.

create a drawable file and use the view as background.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="rectangle">
        <gradient
            android:startColor="#72CA5C54"
            android:centerColor="#43F71803"
            android:endColor="#272525"
            android:angle="45"/>

    </shape>
