Extra margin(spacing) around FloatingActionButton only on API 19

Question

I'm experiencing an extra margin or spacing around FloatingActionButton but only on API19.

Screenshot on API19:

Margin is correct on every other version, see screenshot below:

The developer option for showing layout boundaries is turned on in both cases. You can clearly see that in API 19 there is an extra space around the FABs.

XML:

      <RelativeLayout
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:orientation="vertical">

                        <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
                            android:id="@+id/path_btn"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
                            android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
                            android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
                            android:background="@null"
                            app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_light"
                            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_line" />

                        <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
                            android:id="@+id/stream_toggle_btn"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_below="@+id/path_btn"
                            android:layout_marginBottom="12dp"
                            android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
                            android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
                            android:background="@null"
                            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_stream_video_white" />
                    </RelativeLayout>

Please consider that the margins in the XML only adds the purple area on the screenshots. If I remove the margins the extra spacing does not disappear.

Please help if you can.

Thanks.

Adding

  app:useCompatPadding="true"

To FABS does not help. Spacing still there.

You can programmatically remove margin from floatingActionButton like.It is a known issue and it is because of extra margin.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) stream_toggle_btn.getLayoutParams();
    params.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0); 
    stream_toggle_btn.setLayoutParams(params);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) path_btn.getLayoutParams();
    params.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0); 
    path_btn.setLayoutParams(params);
}

EDIT

Try to use this properties inside FloatingActionButton xml.

app:elevation="0dp"
app:pressedTranslationZ="0dp"

Like

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/path_btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
    android:background="@null"
    app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_light"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_line"
    app:elevation="0dp"
    app:pressedTranslationZ="0dp"/>
