UPDATE ANSWER

change above to these solve the problem as Rod_Algonquin answer in this question

<item android:top="0dp" android:bottom="10dp">
<item android:top="5dp" android:bottom="5dp">
<item android:top="10dp" android:bottom="0dp">

Solution

problem:

<item android:top="5dp">

since you are only giving it a top of 5dp it will only crop the top with 5dp and still have the height covering almost the size of the layer

solution:

add a bottom attribute to crop the bottom as well to balance the effect you want

<item android:top="5dp"  android:bottom="5dp">
