I think you can use HTML in set message - it works for Alert and text views - I havent tried for progress dialog but try it.To give you an idea here's some code - just modify it to suit your requirements

Basically

In your strings.xml 

 <string name="downloading"><![CDATA[<font color="green">1.Downloading</font><br/>]]></string>
 <string name="decompressing"><![CDATA[<font color="red">2.Decompressing</font><br/>]]></string>

And call 

mProgressDialog.setMessage(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.downloading))+""+ Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.decompressing)));

Look at this code.

final SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder("your text here");
   final ForegroundColorSpan fcs = new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.rgb(158, 158, 158)); 

   // Span to set text color to some RGB value
   final StyleSpan bss = new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD); 

   // Span to make text bold
   sb.setSpan(fcs, 0, 4, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); 

   // Set the text color for first 4 characters
   sb.setSpan(bss, 0, 4, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); 

   // make them also bold
   yourTextView.setText(sb);
