I've been trying to recreate this simple effect in After Effects, but with no luck so far

I'm fairly certain I have to work with a circular mask, but I have no idea how to make it work like in the example above. There are some tutorials that deal with masks, but none that deal specifically with Material Design animations in After Effects.

Thank you in advance.

The simplest way is to work with a composition within a composition.


Create a small composition that only has the button, there make a shape layer of your circle and enlarge it until it leaves the margins of the composition and you reach the desired animation with opacity, motion blur, etc.
Place this small composition into the bigger "screen" composition.


Otherwise make a Track Matte - read about it here
