A solution with a gradient:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

  <item android:width="2dp" android:height="2dp"
      android:top="4dp" android:left="3dp">
    <rotate android:fromDegrees="45"
        android:pivotX="0"
        android:pivotY="0">
      <shape>
        <solid android:color="#D83945"/>
      </shape>
    </rotate>
  </item>
  <item android:width="50dp" android:height="11dp" android:left="3dp">
    <shape>
      <gradient
          android:startColor="#D83945"
          android:endColor="#F9700C"
          />
