Answer 1

I saw that a lot of people are looking on this post so I thought that I should edit it and share an example:

Note (this example is not complete, it's still in progress but I guess it's a starting point)

GitHub: Github Example

The important part in this example is below: Create in drawable a xml file custom_progress_bar_horizontal.xml and add the content below.

<?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>
            <padding
                android:bottom="3dip"
                android:top="3dip"
                android:left="3dip"
                android:right="3dip"/>
            <corners
                android:radius="5dip" />
            <gradient
                android:startColor="#2a2b2f"
                android:centerColor="#2a2b2f"
                android:centerY="0.50"
                android:endColor="#2a2b2f"
                android:angle="270" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item
        android:id="@android:id/progress">
        <clip>
            <shape>
                <corners
                    android:radius="5dip" />
                <gradient
                    android:startColor="#ff0e75af"
                    android:endColor="#ff1997e1"
                    android:angle="90" />
            </shape>
        </clip>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Add the following code in styles.xml

<style name="CustomProgressBar" parent="android:Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal">
    <item name="android:indeterminateOnly">false</item>
    <item name="android:progressDrawable">@drawable/custom_progress_bar_horizontal</item>
    <item name="android:minHeight">10dip</item>
    <item name="android:maxHeight">20dip</item>
</style>

After you have added the style in your activity layout add:

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/customProgress"
        style="@style/CustomProgressBar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"/>

The progress dispaly below in a frame it's a little tricky because you need to extend the ProgressBar class and make the changes there.

I will leave here some examples and notify when I will add them in my github project.

Great example if you want to disaply the progress in your way: NumberProgressBar

Other progress bar examples:

Custom progress bar 1

Custom progress bar 2

Custom progress bar 3

UPDATE:

Also check DiscreteSeekBar this is a great github project.

Gradle: compile 'org.adw.library:discrete-seekbar:1.0.1'
