Create a new selector (see http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#StateList) for the item, and then configuring the colour/background values depending on state. By state, I mean, your item could be 'Checkable' (i.e. only a single item in the whole GridView can be checked at a time) and then when it's tapped, set it to checked, and the appropriate value in the selector would be chosen. Alternatively, you could use the item's .setEnabled() method and do something similar.
You may also need to be aware of the android:duplicateParentState attribute.
