I started out with the example that Jignesh Ansodariya posted, but as Aerrow points out, the user can click anywhere on the SeekBar to unlock. That makes it quite unusable, since the point with having a slide button is that accidental clicks should be ignored. My solution was to create a subclass of SeekBar, like this:

public class SlideButton extends SeekBar {

    private Drawable thumb;
    private SlideButtonListener listener;

    public SlideButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public void setThumb(Drawable thumb) {
        super.setThumb(thumb);
        this.thumb = thumb;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            if (thumb.getBounds().contains((int) event.getX(), (int) event.getY())) {
                super.onTouchEvent(event);
            } else
                return false;
        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            if (getProgress() > 70)
                handleSlide();

            setProgress(0);
        } else
            super.onTouchEvent(event);

        return true;
    }

    private void handleSlide() {
        listener.handleSlide();
    }

    public void setSlideButtonListener(SlideButtonListener listener) {
        this.listener = listener;
    }   
}

public interface SlideButtonListener {
    public void handleSlide();
}

XML:

And finally the code inside my Activity:

    ((SlideButton) findViewById(R.id.unlockButton)).setSlideButtonListener(new SlideButtonListener() {  
        @Override
        public void handleSlide() {
            unlockScreen();
        }
    });
