This may be achieved by using AppCompatCheckBox  You can use app buttonCompat   drawable selector drawable  to change the selector   It s working with PNGs  but I didn t find a way for it to work with Vector Drawables

One alternative would be to use a drawable textview instead of a checkbox and manipulate it accordingly  I have used this method to have my own checked and unchecked images for a task application
