Try to use material design progress bar it will work fine with both higher and lower version of android. Refer below link for more information https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html

Always use support library widgets to make it look consistent across various android versions. Hope it helps! :)

For material theme on all android versions, you have to use AppCompatActivity.

For Example,

In Activity say A

public class A extends AppCompatActivity
{
    ...
}

And in Manifest.xml,

<application
       ...
        android:theme="@style/AppThemeActionBar"
       ...
>
</application>

And in style.xml,

<!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppThemeActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

Make sure you add dependency in gradle,

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
