Step 1.
Create a new document with a size you want. In this tutorial I use a 300x300 image.
Step 2.
Import the graphics to which you want to add the shadow effect. 
Step 3.
Create a new layer. 
Step 4.
Select Magic Wand Tool and set its preferences as below. 
Step 5.
Click on a white area and than Inverse the selection. 
Step 6.
Select the empty layer and set foreground color to black (RGB: #000000) and fill the selection.
 
Step 7.
Select the Edit->Transform->Distort function and try to setup a realistic size and angle.
Step 8.
To make it more realistic use the Filter->Blur->Motion Blur effect as you can see here.
Step 9.
As last step set the Opacity to 30%
