Selectable/Highlightable List Item with custom background

Selectable/Highlightable List Item with custom background

I have a ListView item which has a set background. This overrides the
default blue highlight that appears when the item is pressed/selected. Is
there a way to have both the background and the selector?
This is my attempt at merging both a background and selector...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@color/red"/>
</selector>
<item>
<shape
android:dither="true"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ccc" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape
android:dither="true"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This is in my drawable folder, and I set it with this in my ListItem xml:
android:background="@drawable/my_background
