Please make one xml file name progress.xml and put it in res/xml folder and write the below code in that xml file.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:toDegrees="360">
    <shape android:shape="ring" android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
        android:thicknessRatio="8" android:useLevel="false">

        <size android:width="76dip" android:height="76dip" />
        <gradient android:type="sweep" android:useLevel="false"
            android:startColor="#447a29" 
            android:endColor="#447a29"
            android:angle="0"
             />
    </shape>
</rotate> 

after creating this xml file set your progressbars background as this xml ..

Like

<ProgressBar
  android:id="@+id/ProgressBar01" 
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background = "@xml/progress">
