I've worked out a way of getting reasonable box-shadow around the page thumbnails. Ultimately it requires pixel by pixel modification to soften the shadow ( It was too dark before ). All the same it doesn't seem too slow but currently the thumbnails are small. Currently, the shadow is added at runtime as part of the grid adapter but I could just add the shadow to the thumbnail? ( This would make it difficult to change once added, unless we keep the original also ). I'm really surprised that there is no clean way of doing this (that I can see).
I don't know how your images are stored/drawn, but this is how I add shadows in the remote control using a shadow "paint" (assuming you're doing it in Java):

            Bitmap aBitmap = getMyBitmapFromSomewhere();
final int borderWidth = 8; // However much space you want for shadows

            Paint p = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
p.setShadowLayer(borderWidth, 0, 0, Color.BLACK); // Change the colour of the shadow here

Bitmap aOut = Bitmap.createBitmap(aBitmap.getWidth() + 2 // The new larger bitmap containing image+shadow
                            * borderWidth, aBitmap.getHeight() + 2
                            * borderWidth, aBitmap.getConfig());
RectF aRect = new RectF(borderWidth, borderWidth, borderWidth // This is the rectangle where the original image will be painted
                            + aBitmap.getWidth(), borderWidth
                            + aBitmap.getHeight());
            Canvas canvas = new Canvas(aOut);
canvas.drawColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); // Fade out to a given background color
            canvas.drawRect(aRect, p); // Draw the shadow first
canvas.drawBitmap(aBitmap, null, aRect, null); // Draw the original image on top

            return aOut; // New Bitmap with shadow.

Hope this helps,

Andrzej
