You could look at the onTouchListener

You will get something like this:

@Override 
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) { 

        if(motionEvent == MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE){
            //change image
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false; 
        }
}

Just take a look at the documentation here

use this below selector.xml and put your image in your drawable folder. call your button background as android:background="@drawable/selector".

<item android:state_pressed="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/darkimage" >
</item>

<item android:state_focused="true"
    android:drawable="@drawable/darkimage" >
</item>

<item android:drawable="@drawable/lighterimage" >
</item>
