I think you are going to have to create 2 custom images of the button and then use a drawable xml as the background.

For Example:

<ToggleButton
    android:id="@+id/toggleButton1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/btntoggle_selector"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:textOff="Toggle Button OFF"
    android:textOn="Toggle Button ON "
    android:onClick="onToggleButtonClick" />

Then the btntoggle_selector xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_selected" android:state_checked="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_selected" android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="false"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_normal" android:state_checked="false" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bg_normal" android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="false"/>
</selector>

bg_selected and bg_normal are just images like 9-patch.

See the Android developer guide on 9-patch images
