AFAIK, neither <rotate> nor <translate> are valid for a drawable resource. Those are used with tween animations for animation resources:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/animation-resource.html#Tween As for how to solve your problem, one solution put an ImageView with your needle atop your ProgressBar and use margins to position it. Crude, but as you point out, in app widgets, you don't exactly have tons o' options. Another possible solution is to make your progress drawable be a nine-patch PNG, where the needle is outside of the stretch area. That may not give you quite accurate results for low progress values, but it will asymptotically approach accuracy by the time you complete the bar.
