I don't think this is possible, but can a static (determinate) horizontal progress bar be embedded in a Textview?
Update1: I am trying to create a progress bar similar to that of the iPhone, but I also need text above it. Here is a picture: http://i.stack.imgur.com/aDFU9.png
Update2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<ProgressBar
style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
android:id="@+id/pbar1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:max="100"
android:progress="45"
android:maxHeight="5sp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp" />
</LinearLayout>

Now my goal is to make this look like the previous picture.
