You can use a layer list like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <item>
       <shape android:shape="oval">
           <solid
               android:color="#666666"/>

           <size
               android:width="120dp"
               android:height="120dp"/>
       </shape>
   </item>

   <item android:drawable="@drawable/your_drawable"/>
</layer-list>
