Before you reinvent the wheel, the Writer shadow image is at
icon-themes/galaxy/sw/res/page-shadow-mask.png, you could reuse that in
the Android app. (And that's split to top, topright, right, bottomright,
bottom, bottomleft, left and topleft parts runtime, I guess that's more
or less trivial to do in Java.)
