I had been playing around with other ways to do this until I got this solution and came across what may be a bug.
After setting the icon of the button, I set the height and width of the button to its formattedHeight and formattedWidth. Sometimes that worked correctly and sometimes it didn't. I haven;t quite figured out what causes it to fail, but it seems like if the height of the image is more than the height of the button, the button height and width are set correctly, otherwise they aren't.
