After a quick search I saw some comments of what not to do... but in
my case it WORKED PERFECT. Rather than setting the layout background
in the xml as I had originally done (and what I would have preferred
to do). I took a little of the code from another post and set the
background in code.
The right thing to do is to adjust your 9patch with the 9patch tool to
indicate what the padding should be. Those are those pixels on the
right and bottom.
I haven't actually tried setting them to be wider than the stretchable
area, but I'd expect it to work.
But the other issue I've found is
Without seeing your code it's hard to know what's going on, but
background drawables are never drawn in the foreground.

That is what I firmly believed -- until extensive testing convinced me
otherwise: that NinePatchDrawable's are, unlike everything else, drawn
in the foreground.
I recognize it's an extraordinary claim, requiring extraordinary
evidence.
However -- my testing indicated that, no matter HOW I
I can assure you that NinePatchDrawables are NOT drawn in the foreground.
The only reason I can see this hasn't provoked an uproar (besides
possible hallucinations on my part, which I haven't quite ruled out),
is that the advice is to leave the center center tile transparent.
There is
I can assure you that's what I believed, expected, and still want to
believe! And yet, supplying, at the same line of code, to the exact
same view, an BitmapDrawable vs a NinePatchDrawable, produced
dramatically different results.
You'll have to see a demo app to believe it. Hopefully, I'll just
gah, meant to reply to this part, too:
Please refer to the documentation:

Normally, the middle is transparent so that the patch can provide a
selection about a rectangle.
As you can see, I didn't make it up.
