How can I create a rectangle with two curved sides in XML drawable?

Question

I want the left and right sides (not the corners) of the rectangle to be curved. Or say the top and bottom sides of an oval shape straight.

How can I achieve something like this?

Try this on textview, for single character it will show a circle, for multiple digits it will automatically expand into the shape you showed above, but if you strictly want above shape just give larger padding on left and right

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >

    <padding
        android:top="3dp"
        android:left="8dp"
        android:right="8dp" 
        android:bottom="3dp"/>

    <solid android:color="#E6121A" />

    <corners
        android:bottomLeftRadius="12dp"
        android:bottomRightRadius="12dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="12dp"
        android:topRightRadius="12dp" />

</shape>
