Android replace checkbox style with custom drawable selector

I have tried to make a xml selector with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/shuffleon" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/shuffleoff" android:state_selected="false" />
</selector>

and when I try to set the backgroundDrawable to the checkBox the checkbox doesn't replace the CheckBox style too:

  shuffle.setBackground(android.support.v4.content.res.ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.shuffle, null));

Following this question: Change icons of checked and unchecked for Checkbox for Android I need to set the button drawable with my xml: android:button="@drawable/checkbox" but I can't do this because I'm creating the CheckBox programmatically. Is there a way how to achieve this?
