In Material theme it will automatically manage according to primary color of theme. or you can manage according to you with help of custom view.

Try like this programmatically

boolean checked =false;

checkbox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    if(checked){
        GradientDrawable d=new GradientDrawable();
        d.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        checkbox.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
        }
    else{
        GradientDrawable d=new GradientDrawable();
        d.setColor(Color.RED);
        checkbox.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
    }
    checked = !checked
    }

});

You will have access to many properties of GradientDrawable class to stylize your background. you can see more at Documentation
