Try the following:

initialize an UIImageView to be the background view and an UIImageView to be the selected background view when you setup ypu custom table view cell:

self.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"listing-gradient-hover.png"]];
self.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"listing-gradient.png"]];

UITableViewCell adds the value of the selectedBackgroundView property as a subview only when the cell is selected. It adds the selected background view as a subview directly above the background view (backgroundView) if it is not nil, or behind all other views. Calling setSelected:animated: causes the selected background view to animate in and out with an alpha fade. You do not need to override this method just for switching the background image upon selection.
