Change appearance of view used by DragShadowBuilder

I want to implement a drag-and-drop functionality within a recyclerview. Everything goes perfectly until I want to customize the looks of the view being dragged (not the view from which the drag event starts, I want to modify the "shadow" and keep the original view the same).

I've tried to make a bitmap out of the view being passed, but the end result is both the original item and the Shadow are modified AND the original view loses its position on the list... WTF

Here is my code:

public class ImageDragShadowBuilder extends View.DragShadowBuilder {
    private Bitmap shadow;

    LinearLayout linearLayout;

    private ImageDragShadowBuilder() {
        super();
    }

    public static ImageDragShadowBuilder create(Context context, View view) {
        ImageDragShadowBuilder builder = new ImageDragShadowBuilder();
        builder.linearLayout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.metric_item);
        builder.linearLayout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background_item_dragging);

        builder.shadow = createBitmapFromView(builder.linearLayout);

        return builder;
    }

    public View getLayout() {
        return linearLayout;
    }

    private static Bitmap createBitmapFromView(View v) {
        Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(v.getWidth(), v.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        v.layout(0, 0, v.getWidth(), v.getHeight());
        v.draw(new Canvas(b));
        return b;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawShadow(Canvas canvas) {
        canvas.drawBitmap(shadow, 0, 0, null);
    }

    @Override
    public void onProvideShadowMetrics(Point shadowSize, Point shadowTouchPoint) {
        shadowSize.x = shadow.getWidth();
        shadowSize.y = shadow.getHeight();
        shadowTouchPoint.x = shadowSize.x / 2;
        shadowTouchPoint.y = shadowSize.y / 2;
    }
}

Any ideas?
