I'm mostly pulling my answer from here. Your question has a lot of similarities, but I'm unsure if they are close enough to be closed. In the linked question, they use the ProgressBar View by defining it in the layout.xml:

<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/ProgressBar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:indeterminate="false"
android:maxHeight="10dip"
android:minHeight="10dip"
android:progress="50"
android:progressDrawable="@drawable/greenprogress" />

It should be noted that the last attribute is a drawable. This can be any drawable resource, but I think your best best is going to be to follow suit with their solution and create a similar xml file. In this case, greenprogess.xml (note that the file name matches "@drawable/greenprogress" above:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape>
        <corners android:radius="5dip" />
        <gradient
            android:startColor="#ff9d9e9d"
            android:centerColor="#ff5a5d5a"
            android:centerY="0.75"
            android:endColor="#ff747674"
            android:angle="270"
        />
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<clip>
    <shape>
        <corners android:radius="5dip" />
        <gradient
                android:startColor="#80ffd300"
                android:centerColor="#80ffb600"
                android:centerY="0.75"
                android:endColor="#a0ffcb00"
                android:angle="270"
        />
    </shape>
</clip>
</item>
<item
    android:id="@android:id/progress"
>
<clip>
    <shape>
        <corners
            android:radius="5dip" />
        <gradient
            android:startColor="#33FF33"
            android:endColor="#008000"
            android:angle="270" />
     </shape>
 </clip>
 </item>
 </layer-list>

Also note that the linked Question has a simpler Answer as well. However,I think this will give you more flexibility that you may be searching for.
