There is no possibility to do that atm. You have to develop your own custom view for achieving this.

Create a custom view, extending a Layout, and use the layout for your background of the progress bar. Add another view (starting with 0dp width) for your growing progress.

Add a public method for setting the current progress and adjust the width of the progress view.

You can't apply a custom Style to a Progressbar with the official API.

You might be able to do it using reflection though. A Progressbar has a private field mProgressTintInfo which has following fields: mProgressTintListand mProgressBackgroundTintList, which are ColorStateLists and mHasProgressTint and mHasProgressBackgroundTint, which are booleans.

I've never tried this myself, it might not work at all or only work on specific API levels / devices.
