Why do i get a gap between checkbox and text?

Question

I am using image for checkbox. This is the xml i am uisng,

<CheckBox
    android:id="@+id/remember"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
    android:layout_below="@+id/tableLayout1"
    android:button="@drawable/checkbox_selector"
    android:layout_marginLeft="52dp"
    android:text="@string/remember"
    android:textColor="#000000" />

I am getting the gap between the image and text ( see in the below image), is it default; is it possible to change if yes let me know what property i have to add.

checkbox_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/checked" />
<item android:state_checked="false" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/un_checked" />
</selector>

Try messing with the android:paddingLeft property of the checkbox.
