Create an animation.. Animation anim= AnimationUtils.loadFromRes(int xyz); something like this. Then set this animation to button... in for loop. urButton.setAnimation(); then when u want to play animation just call startanimation method. urButton.startAnimation();

Refer the ApiDemo sample project that comes with the sdk. There is one animation where they have a textbox that rattles when you enter text into it and press a button. You can modify that for your needs.
