You can change the color of a View by pressing it (example: textView, button etc) by creating Selectors:

drawable/selector.xml:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="@color/custom_color"/>
    <corners android:radius="8dp"/>
</shape>

color/custom_color.xml:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
    <item android:color="@color/blue_bt_pressed" android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:color="@color/blue_bt"/>
</selector>

And in your View add:

android:background ="@drawable/selector

I don’t know how you can implement this in Actionbar but I hope this can help you.
