You can use a selector

in drawable folder have selector.xml as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/press" />
    <item  android:state_focused="false" 
        android:drawable="@drawable/normal" />
</selector>

In drawable folder press.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 
    <solid android:color="#FF9D21"/>     
</shape>

In drawable foldernormal.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 
    <solid android:color="#8BC7EB"/>    
</shape>

In the drawer_list_item.xml

android:background="@drawable/selector"

For styling the bar

  <resources>

    <!--
        Base application theme for API 11+. This theme completely replaces
        AppBaseTheme from res/values/styles.xml on API 11+ devices.
    -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
         <item name="android:background">@style/MyActionBar</item>
        <!-- API 11 theme customizations can go here. -->
    </style>
    <style name="MyActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/press</item>

    </style>
</resources>

In your manifest

 <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
          android:theme="@style/MyActionBar"
        android:label="@string/app_name">

You can specify the theme for a particular activity instead of entire application.
