adding ripple effect along with a line divider

I have a recycler view, each item in it is represented as a linear layout. I am trying to add ripple effect to each item.

Linear Layout looks something like

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/list_item"
style="@style/ItemStyle"
android:paddingLeft="6dp"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants">

ItemStyle in the above layout is given as

<style name="ItemStyle">
    <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/item_background</item>
    <item name="android:minHeight">@dimen/item_height</item>
    <item name="android:orientation">horizontal</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">1dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingRight">1dp</item>
</style>

@drawable/item_background is given as

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/primary" />
    <item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="@color/blue" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/item_divider_background" />
</selector>

The problem is that if i change android:background from @drawable/item_background to ?attr/selectableItemBackground, i am able to get the ripple effect but the line divider, @drawable/item_divider_background mentioned inside the @drawable/item_background is not appearing. Can someone tell what is the workaround to add both the divider and the ripple effect.
