If you want the standard button image, use android:background="? android:buttonStyle".
This says to find the android platform buttonStyle in the current theme, and use that value for the background drawable resource. This is as opposed to android:background="@android:style/Widget.Button", which says to use that explicit resource as the background. (In the default black theme, android:buttonStyle is set to android:style/ Widget.Button, so these boil down to the same thing. But by using the ? version, if you change to a different theme or make your own then the layout will get whatever value you specify in it.)
