you can create gradient drawable dynamically.. use below class

    import android.graphics.drawable.GradientDrawable;

    public class SomeDrawable extends GradientDrawable {

    public SomeDrawable(int pStartColor, int pCenterColor, int pEndColor, int pStrokeWidth, int pStrokeColor, float cornerRadius) {
        super(Orientation.BOTTOM_TOP,new int[]{pStartColor,pCenterColor,pEndColor});
        setStroke(pStrokeWidth,pStrokeColor);
        setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
        setCornerRadius(cornerRadius);
    }
 }

and use this class as below

SomeDrawable drawable = new SomeDrawable(Color.parseColor("Start Color Code"),Color.parseColor("Center Color Code"),Color.parseColor("End Color Code"),1,Color.BLACK,00);
yourLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
