If you import android.text.Html; then you will be able to use the Html.fromHtml() method to do it, like so:

private ProgressDialog dialog;
this.dialog = ProgressDialog.show(Activity.this, Html.fromHtml(
               "<b>Heading<b>"), Html.fromHtml("<big>Message...</big>"), true);

You should also be able to use other Html text formatting tags like <small> <u> <i> <sub> etc., and obviously you can mix and match them like any other html text.
