Android : DrawerLayout background for ListView

I have the following for my DrawerLayout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/background_main">

    <!-- Framelayout to display Fragments -->
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frame_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <!-- Listview to display slider menu -->
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_slidermenu"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:background="@drawable/background"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="@color/transparent"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp" />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

I want to have a background image for my ListView with a black view on top of it that has some opacity. For my iPhone app it's very easy--I just have a UIImageView with a UIView on top that has a black background and opacity of .4 and everything works.

Is there a way to do this in Android? Also, this image will be downloaded from the server...so I need to fit that constraint as well.
