int startColor=Color.parseColor("#a6c1de");
//you can add as many gradient colors as you want here
//and include it in the int array while initializing GradientDrawable 
int endColor=Color.parseColor("#aa82b7");
GradientDrawable mDrawable=new GradientDrawable(Orientation.LEFT_RIGHT,
                                    new int[] {startColor,endColor});

LinearLayout mLayout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.your_id);
mLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(mDrawable);

You can't create Gradient using many colors like in your image where two colors goes linear. So You should use Image instead of gradient.

Here you have an online tool for creating gradient shapes for android:

http://angrytools.com/gradient/

By clicking on the android tab, you get xml with shape(s) :

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient 
    android:type="linear"
    android:centerX="47%" 
    android:startColor="#FF70C1FF" 
    android:centerColor="#FFBDC9FF" 
    android:endColor="#FF734080" 
    android:angle="45"/>
</shape>

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient 
    android:type="radial"
    android:centerX="50%" 
    android:centerY="50%" 
    android:startColor="#FF70C1FF" 
    android:centerColor="#FFBDC9FF" 
    android:endColor="#FF734080" 
    android:gradientRadius="47"/>
</shape>
