@Pauli .You can use Image for easy practice and can try this way . Use this logic

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
    android:drawable="@color/Your_color">
</item>

<item>
    <rotate
        android:fromDegrees="50"
        android:pivotX="10%"
        android:pivotY="85%"
         >
        <shape

            android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#000000" />

        </shape>
    </rotate>
</item>

1. Create color resources in colors.xml file

   <color name="primaryColor">#3F51B5</color>
   <color name="primaryColorDark">#303F9F</color>
   

2. Create Java file TriangleBackgroundView.Java:

   public class TriangleBackgroundView extends View {
   Paint paint;
   Paint bgPaint;
   
   public TriangleBackgroundView(Context context) {
       super(context);
       init();
   }
   
   public TriangleBackgroundView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
       super(context, attrs);
       init();
   }
   
   public TriangleBackgroundView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
       super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
       init();
   }
   
   private void init() {
       paint = new Paint();
       paint.setStrokeWidth(1);
       paint.setAntiAlias(true);
       paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.SQUARE);
       paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
       paint.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.primaryColor));
   
       bgPaint= new Paint();
       bgPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
       bgPaint.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.primaryColorDark));
   }
   
   @Override
   protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
       super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
   }
   
   @Override
   protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
       super.onDraw(canvas);
   
       int h = getMeasuredHeight();
       int w = getMeasuredWidth();
   
       canvas.drawRect(0,0,w,h,bgPaint);
   
       Path path = new Path();
       path.moveTo(0, h);
       path.lineTo(w, h);
       path.lineTo(0, 0);
       path.lineTo(0, h);
       path.close();
       canvas.drawPath(path,paint);
   }
   }
   

3. Now add custom view in your layout:

<com.yourpackage.TriangleBackgroundView
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"/>

<TextView android:text="@string/hello_world" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textSize="20dp"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

You can use something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
            <solid android:color="@color/yellow_color"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <rotate
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:fromDegrees="45"
            android:pivotX="85%"
            android:pivotY="135%">
            <shape>
                <solid android:color="@color/brown_color" />

            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>
    <item>
        <rotate
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:fromDegrees="45"
            android:pivotX="-35%"
            android:pivotY="85%">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="@color/brown_color" />

            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>
</layer-list>

The two rotated rectangles do the work of fill brown side in your image.
