First Import LightningColorFilter, then you can change the color by applying this code:

Start_Button.getBackground().setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0x11111111, 0x11111111));

This is to be placed inside your acitivity, and not the XML file.

You would use this instead of a drawable image. – Navigatron May 31 '11 at 10:30
How do you set it back to default button color? – powder366 Jun 25 '13 at 18:10
Well you will need to find out what the hex of the colour code is and then change it accordingly. The number inside the brackets is what you will change to change the colour.

in orignal button layout xml :- andorid:background="@drawable/mylayout"

in mylayout.xml:-

    <shape>
        <gradient
            android:startColor="@color/yellow1"
            android:endColor="@color/yellow2"
            android:angle="270" />
        <stroke
            android:width="3dp"
            android:color="@color/grey05" />
        <corners
            android:radius="3dp" />
        <padding
            android:left="10dp"
            android:top="10dp"
            android:right="10dp"
            android:bottom="10dp" />
