Use a simple ToggleButton in combination with a StateListDrawable set as its background.

A sample of the ToggleButton is to be found here.

Basically you create an image for the checked and unchecked state of the button. You set the appropriate images in the StateListDrawable and set that StateListDrawable as the ToggleButtos's background.
