imageview

Is it possible to add an image(view) on top of a button (which as a background image)?

I'm porting an iOS app to Android and it wasn't a problem on iOS, but I'm wondering if it is the right approach on Android because of layouts.

Edit :

To clarify, check this screen shot :

I need to do the bottom left button "carte" (card in french)

I need :

a button with a background image
an image displayed on top of the button which is loaded from internet (a card , there is a lot of different and news cards are added daily, in the screnshot it s "MIDI PASS" )
a text localised on the button , so I cant use Imagebutton class.
