StateListDrawable to switch colorfilters

I want to create custom buttons to use in a TabHost. I haven been trying to just use the same image resource (png), but have the colorfilter change depending on the state. So I made this bit to serve as the layout for the custom button:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/tab_icon"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/tab_text" android:layout_below="@id/tab_icon"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>

In my activity, I add the tabs like this:

tabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec(TAB_NAME_NEWS).setIndicator(buildTab(R.drawable.tab_icon_news, R.string.news))
          .setContent(newsIntent));

And this is the 'buildTab' method:

private final static int[] SELECTED = new int[] { android.R.attr.state_selected };
private final static int[] IDLE = new int[] { -android.R.attr.state_selected };

private View buildTab(int icon, int label) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_button, null);
    StateListDrawable drawable = new StateListDrawable();

    Drawable selected = getResources().getDrawable(icon);
    selected.mutate();
    selected.setBounds(0, 0, selected.getIntrinsicWidth(), selected.getIntrinsicHeight());
    selected.setColorFilter(new LightingColorFilter(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x0000FF00));
    drawable.addState(SELECTED, selected);

    Drawable idle = getResources().getDrawable(icon);
    idle.mutate(
