I try to provide elevationin the corners cardview. my demand elevationshould not affect the middle cardview. it should only act on corners, as shown in the figure below.

As shown in the figure, in the middle cardview elevationmust be zero at the corners, must have some elevation(eg
elevation:4dp)
Here is the code I've tried so far
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="@null"
android:gravity="center"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/white"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
card_view:cardElevation="3dp">
