You can use a layer list as like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  
            <item android:drawable="@drawable/back" />
        <item>
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                   <solid android:color="#f000"/>
                </shape>
            </item> 
             <item  android:left="20dp">
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="#f001"/>
                </shape>
            </item> 
               <item android:left="60dp">
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="#f003"/>
                </shape>
            </item> 
          </layer-list> 

Set this as the background of your view
