Answer 1

Android does provide some feature for creating an Emboss Effect by using EmbossMaskFilter..

For more details, you can visit this link: http://android-coding.blogspot.in/2012/05/example-of-embossmaskfilter.html

Also if you need to apply this effect for 2D-graphics, then you can use this link: http://about-android.blogspot.in/2010/07/2d-graphics-with-effects_11.html

Answer 2

I would suggest making a 9 patch with the emboss built into the image.

That way you can make the size and colour whatever you want.
