Android GPS icon on the status bar blinks using the below logic. Keep two drawables one with dull image and one with bright image. Change them at certain duration and it will look like the image is blinking.

<animation-list
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:oneshot="false">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/dull" android:duration="10000" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/bright" android:duration="10000" />
</animation-list>
