This example show how to change opacity (Alpha) of ImageView and its background.

package com.example.androidimageview;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
import android.widget.SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
 
 TextView textTitle;
 ImageView image1, image2, image3;
 SeekBar opacityBar, backgroundOpacityBar;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        textTitle = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.title);
        image1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image1);
        image2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image2);
        image3 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image3);
     opacityBar = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.opacity);
     backgroundOpacityBar = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.backgroundopacity);
     
     image1.setBackgroundColor(0xFFff0000);
     image2.setBackgroundColor(0xFFff0000);
     image3.setBackgroundColor(0xFFff0000);
     
     opacityBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener(){

   @Override
   public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,
     boolean fromUser) {
    //setAlpha (float alpha)
    //alpha between 0 and 1
    textTitle.setAlpha((float)progress/255);
    
    image1.setAlpha((float)progress/255);
    
    //setAlpha (int alpha) deprecated in API level 16.
    image2.setAlpha(progress);

    //require API level 16
    image3.setImageAlpha(progress);
   }

   @Override
   public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
   }

   @Override
   public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
   }});
     
     backgroundOpacityBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener(){

   @Override
   public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress,
     boolean fromUser) {
    
    int backgroundOpacity = progress * 0x01000000;
    
    image1.setBackgroundColor(backgroundOpacity + 0xff0000);
       image2.setBackgroundColor(backgroundOpacity + 0xff0000);
       image3.setBackgroundColor(backgroundOpacity + 0xff0000);
   }

   @Override
   public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
   }

   @Override
   public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
   }});
    }

}
