WPF Change button background image when clicked - wpf

Question

I have created a Button and set its background Image. What I want is when the Button is clicked, I want to replace the background Image with another one
How can I accomplish this?
Here is my code with the Button:
<Button x:Name="PopulationReporting" Click="PopulationReporting_Clicked" Width="172"
Height="60" Margin="57,170,57,184">
<Button.Background >
<ImageBrush ImageSource="images/img-2.png" />
</Button.Background>
</Button>

You can do this programmatically (see example here)
or
You can use DataTriggers, where the DataTrigger is bound to a bool value in your ViewModel and changes the Style of your Button. The Button is bound to a Command, so when executed, the Command will change the state of the image (the isPlaying property).
xaml:
<Button Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="70,272,0,0" Name="buttonPlay" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Command="{Binding PlayCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=ButtonImage, Path=Source}" >
<Image Name="ButtonImage">
<Image.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isPlaying}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="Play.png" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isPlaying}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="Stop.png" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
</Button>

{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new ViewModel();
}

public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private bool _isPlaying = false;
private RelayCommand _playCommand;
public ViewModel()
{
isPlaying = false;
}
public bool isPlaying
{
get { return _isPlaying; }
set
{
_isPlaying = value;
OnPropertyChanged("isPlaying");
}
}

{
get
{
return _playCommand ?? new RelayCommand((x) =>
{
var buttonType = x.ToString();
if (null != buttonType)
{
if (buttonType.Contains("Play"))
{
isPlaying = false;
}
else if (buttonType.Contains("Stop"))
{
isPlaying = true;
}
}
});
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
public class RelayCommand : ICommand

private readonly Predicate<object> _canExecute;

public bool CanExecute(object parameter)

if (_canExecute == null)
