Kostya, The background is specified in XML exactly as you suggested. When I click and hold on the widget to drag it, Android's outline box is larger than the widget itself. If I write code to invoke setBackgroundColor() in lieu of setbackgroundresource() the color fills in a larger square than does the background resource. Doesn't all that indicate that there is something about the PNG file, itself, that needs to be changed to make it appear larger?
