Solution 3:

You can simply use PopupWindow with view with vector background:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="24dp"
    android:height="20dp"
    android:viewportHeight="162"
    android:viewportWidth="196">
    <path
        android:fillColor="@color/black"
        android:pathData="M0 26.9917C0 12.0846 12.09433 0 26.99583 0L169.0042 0C183.9136 0 196 12.09104 196 26.9917L196 100.0083C196 114.9154 183.9057 127 169.0042 127L124 127L98.5 162L73 127L26.99583 127C12.08644 127 0 114.909 0 100.0083L0 26.9917" />
</vector>
